This is my first type specimen book ever, featuring Bodoni, one of my favorite serif fonts.

A type specimen booklet that displays the typeface Avenir. I designed and developed this booklet while attending Quinnipiac University for an advanced typography course. The goal of the project was to create a booklet that sells the reader on using the typeface that each student was randomly assigned. Also the contents needed to be constrained to one color and basic shapes only for the layout.

This book explores the Bodoni Typeface from the history of its origins to the aesthetic structural differences between families within the typeface. There are playful juxtapositions of letterforms to create graphic compositions.
