Type Electives is an online design school shaping the future of type.

Co-founded by Lynne Yun and Juan Villanueva, Type Electives offers courses that go beyond traditional type design education.

We offer a wide range of live online classes focused on letterforms, including type design, lettering, and creative technology. Our faculty is made up of people who approach their practice from a place of respect, responsibility, criticality, and love. We're excited to work with students interested in exploring a future founded in these principles.

Our Mission

We aim to form a more inclusive and equitable future in type and design by increasing accessibility to specialized education, and creating a thoughtful space to shape the discourse around type as culture and industry.

We are a diverse community of lifelong learners, multi-disciplinary designers and artists, making space for the multiple narratives and truths that shape our practices.

We believe in encouraging active knowledge-sharing and meaningful dialogue that honor each other's local traditions and cultures, rooted in place and community, to redefine the way we practice design.
