Study profile
The Master Type and Media at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK) is a one-year programme that delves into type design and typography for different contexts including print, screens and interactive media. A unique characteristic of the course is its small size. Students will work intensively in a group of no more than 12 under the guidance of experts and teachers from the KABK and beyond.
Students explore every aspect of letterforms: contrast, rhythm, proportion and weight as well as type history, font technology, digitising and tool development. The curriculum is constructed to produce expert designers with a thorough knowledge of, and pronounced affinity with, type and typography.
