Type Specimen Book

Creating a book to display one typeface allowed me to really understand the form and variety of type. In just one, there were so many style options that could be used for a number of purposes. I learned to use a modular grid to bring uniformity to my book.

Prototype

For this project, we were required to create a new typeface by filling in squares of a 9x9 grid. The type had to appear uniform, as if you could apply the style to any letter of the alphabet. As the first typography project assigned, I found it intersting to explore even such limited typographic possibilites.
