An alternative Valentine’s Day activity
Live Zoom workshop
Come along to a typographically fun and rebelliously creative workshop where you can vent some frustration using fonts. This is an antidote to all the gooey cuteness of Valentine’s Day. You don’t need to bring a date to join in—everybody’s welcome.

Learn about rebellious typography through history. Explore the sounds that make swear words so satisfying. Subvert lettering to create your own typographic profanities.
Join author Sarah Hyndman to celebrate eight years of Type Tasting. It was launched on Valentine’s Day 2013 with a boozy evening of typographic swearing and cursing for friends, clients and journalists in the Type Tasting studio in an old chocolate factory in East London.
