Next up in our special features of our Fresh Grad presenters is Type@Cooper's Beau Parent. Beau will be presenting his final project from the Extended Typeface Design certificate program at @thecooperunion, Carpenter Serif: “Carpenter Serif is a transitional text typeface designed throughout my time enrolled in the ’22-’23 Cooper Union Extended Type Design Program. Its design is inspired by the craft of woodworking — the shapes that wood forms as it is connected and constructed into furniture or objects. With low-contrast and a high x-height, Carpenters Serif shines in longer-form text settings. Despite its sharp features, Carpenters Serif is infused with humanist forms, resulting in a warm, inviting typeface.“ Beau Parent is a graphic designer, type designer and occasional sign painter based in Brooklyn, NY. He approaches each project through a typographic lens, focusing his design practice primarily on creating distinct brand identities and design systems. Currently at Alright Studio, he has worked with studios such as Creech, Gander, and Bondfire Inc. He completed Cooper Union’s Extended Type Design program in August 2023, and is currently serving as a TA for the 2023-2024 class. Be sure to follow along as we feature more of our Fresh Grads and their fresh perspectives, and get your tickets to see Beau present on June 6th with us. Tickets available at the link in our bio. #freshgrad2024 #design #designeducation
