The Roman Type workshop taught by Mauro Zennaro last week, kicked up a little dust - pencil dust that is. Students from both classes of 2010 and 2011 joined together to draw and sketch typefaces based on Roman inscriptions. Zennaro will be reprising his workshop (and more) during the SVA Masters Workshop in Italy this summer.
