Project Description
Create a creative type specimen book that captures the essence around each listed typeface.
Reflection
I committed most of my time researching the origin of each typeface. I used the colors of their countries, genres, fields and historical time periods where each typeface were used in their prime era. To bring emphasis towards the characteristics of each typeface, I used large characters as frames, portrayal of objects, and asymmetrical design for a more dynamic/artistic perspective.
