It’s just Letters
I love typography, games, and music—so I make my own. My name is Henni and I’m a professional graphic designer and hobbyist game dev, running my own type foundry.
The games I made or were part of making can be found here:

Session
Did you ever struggle with reading a piece of text in a game? Typography is still a crucial mediator for information in digital media—be it a text log, an item description or just a menu option. In this seminar I want to explore interface design from a typographic angle: What makes your typography shine, how to optimize for readability, what are the unique challenges text faces in gaming environments, and what to consider when adapting to mobile devices.
The seminar is suitable for people already interested in typography, as well as those who have not considered type as a possible obsession yet.
