Text is Visual Language

Letterforms & Nomenclature

InDesign 2020

In this project, I was tasked to design an accordion book with text in a multiple page format pointing to the distinctions between letterforms of various historical classifications of typography. Each interior page of this accordion style book was dedicated to emphasizing the variation of each classification—the first page identifies oldstyle type through the typeface, Garamond; the second page identifies traditional type through Baskerville; the third identifies modern type through Bodoni; and the fourth page identifies slab serif type through Clarendon; while the text of the body copy throughout the book identifies sans serif type through typeface, Franklin Gothic.
