<H2>It's fontastic & boldacious & x-heighting!</H2>
<H2>It’s TypeThursdayNYC!</H2>
<P>TypeThursdayNYC is a monthly gathering of type geeks, this month held at Wix Playground. We like to think of ourselves as a type superfamily: we attract local letterform lovers hailing from all disciplines and levels of expertise. Social hours bookend the centerpiece of our event, a group critique we refer to as Type Crit.</P>
<P><BR></P>
<H3>What the font is Type Crit‽ </H3>
<P>Briefly: It’s a critique. Of letterforms. No grades. Plenty of wine.</P>
<P>Verbosely: Type Crit is a group critique of up to four, in-progress projects involving letterform design and/or usage. You can get, give, or simply listen to feedback—your pick! Discussion is moderated by a TypeThursdayNYC dialogue lead—we pride ourselves on fostering a friendly forum for constructive, thoughtful advice that’ll raise the baseline on your letterform game.</P>
