Inspired Typography

Type II, Virginia Commonwealth University

The short text "Inspired Typography" by Bradbury Thompson was the basis for this projects. I instructed the students to develop a sequence of seven double pages demonstrating the following relations of contrast: structure, texture, form, direction, rhythm, weight, and size. They chose typographic examples from the history of typography to illustrate the booklet.
