What I like about these is just how much the text forms into a cohesive structure. The first one uses various fonts and weights, the bolder weights acting as more of a skeleton for the lighter weights on the outside. For the second one, I like the way the text wraps into a sort of triangle or pyramid, pointing to the text on the left. The text on the left is also laid out very neatly into columns. The word “meccanici” acts as a sort of support or rest for the list of words to the left of it.

The typeface I used for this project was SimSun-ExtB. When choosing typefaces, I knew I wanted to use a serif style font, and the slim, tall design of this font caught my attention. I find it simple to read but also elegant.
