Typography Activities Bundle | Font Scavenger Hunt + Design a Typeface Project
 
This bundle goes beyond basic worksheets by giving students hands-on typography activities they can actively do, not just read about. Students explore real-world fonts through a scavenger hunt, then apply what they’ve learned by creating their own custom typeface. It’s a complete, engaging way to teach typography through both analysis and creation.

Typography Scavenger Hunt (2 pages) with “find it,” “where,” and “why it works” sections
Focus on key font types: serif, sans serif, script, and display
