we.type is a digital hub for typographic teaching and research at the Department of Design, University of Applied Sciences Potsdam.
We write about the perception and influence of typography in the context of technological, political, social and civic processes. We share typesetting how-to’s, resources and our ongoing practical research. We code digital typography and build up a library of html/css snippets.

The first prototype of this website was designed in the typography class by Tilla Borner, Josephine Kähler, Mónica Lara, Marina Ortega Velaz, Julia Schnabl, Merrit Schomakers and Kira Vogtmann, supervised by Prof. Christina Poth and Felix Walser. Since then, the first draft has been constantly expanded to a functional website and is a field of ongoing typographic investigation.
Typographic training includes practical design work as well as observation and analysis, which can also lead to a written form. Contributing students: Johanna Bölke, Tilla Borner, Josephine Kähler, Mónica Lara, Clarissa Lütz, Yevheniia Shyrchenko, Marina Ortega Velaz, Julia Schnabl, Merrit Schomakers and Kira Vogtmann.
In the we.code seminars led by Felix Walser, students explore new possibilities of typography in technological environments - between analog and digital boundaries.
