I know the University of Reading (UK) is well known for typography at undergraduate level. But, I’m curious which other universities are leading typography worldwide (any country, any language).

Specifically, I mean typography as the study of the "organisation of writing"… not the design of typefaces. Thanks for your insights!

    I don’t know what it’s like today but when I was an undergraduate at The Corcoran in the 2000s we had to take four semesters of typography and a semester of publication design. Several faculty members were book designers and everyone in the design department was a type freak. Even the motion graphics teacher would nitpick at type in video projects. It was kind of nuts.
