Devon spent a decade in editorial design before moving to brand, and it shows in how he treats typography — as argument rather than decoration. He teaches visual craft to people who did not go to art school and are tired of being told they need to. His critique sessions are recorded live and unedited.
Typography for Interfaces
Type as argument: hierarchy, rhythm and the details nobody notices until they are wrong.

The instructor is honest about what does not work, which is rarer than it should be. There is a whole lesson on a failed approach and why it failed. I learned more from that than from most successful case studies.
- Nathan ColeOperations DirectorRated 5.0 out of 511 months ago
Watched it over three weeks of commutes. The transcripts are accurate enough that I could read on the train and watch the demos later. That is a small thing that made the whole course possible for me.

Genuinely good, with one caveat: the first module moves slowly if you already know the basics. Skip to module two if you do — the rest is excellent and the case studies are specific rather than generic.
