Reimagining Typography Education with Typeverse
TypeVerse is an immersive typography education platform that transforms learning through community-driven experiences and expert guidance. The app combines structured lessons and hands-on exercises with a vibrant space where designers as well as non designers interested in typography share work, exchange feedback, and build lasting connections. Through personalized mentorship and collaborative learning, TypeVerse empowers both beginners and experienced designers to master typography while being part of an engaged creative community.
Based on our initial user research, we pivoted from a mobile app to a web application. Design students and professionals primarily work on laptops and computers for their design projects, making it more efficient to seamlessly share and receive feedback through a web platform rather than transferring files between devices.
