Matthew Tweddle and Daniel Reed talk us through Only's type workshop at Sheffield Hallam University

Manchester-based branding agency Only and DR-Foundry recently spent three days with students from the Graphic Design course at Sheffield Hallam University, challenging them to create their own modular typeface. We spoke to Matthew Tweddle, Creative Director at Only, and Daniel Reed, Founder of DR-Foundry and Senior Designer at Only, to find out more. EM: What was the idea behind the modular type workshop? MT: An understanding of typography is central to all kinds of graphic design and logo creation. And type often plays a leading role in much of the work that we produce for our clients.
