In an effort to provide a valuable service to the educational community, the Hoffmitz Milken Center for Typography (HMCT) is developing resources that support typography and design educators at a time when typography and design curricula are stretched too thin, or are too condensed. Available online, the “History of Letterforms and Typography” and the encyclopedic “Design Atlas” are the first resources to address these issues.
