| The goal of this project was to
research and create a timeline
on the history of type design.
Special attention to serifs,
proportions, x-heights, and stroke
weights are highlighted in each
era. Parallel design movements
are also incorporated to show
type application in its time.

Centaur has a low contrast between thick and think lines which leaves the page dark and heavy. Te letters are wide im comparison to their x-height. The oblique stress of the “o”, steeply angled serifs, also define Centaur.

The goal of this project was to
develop an eye for the spacing
within words. Becoming familiar
with optical letter space allowed
designers to produce the eye
pleasing pieces and allows the
word to act as an image. We were
assigned both upper and lower
case letters of serif and sans serif
fonts along with both black and
block out letters for the
upmost practice.

The goal of this project was to
convey a sequence of events, to
impart action in a static medium,
to convey content through pacing
and context. Attention to pacing
of form to counter-form, scale,
and rotation were met trough a
total of 4 stages. I selected the
lowercase Clarendon g due to my
interest in its unique serif.

Through a series of defined
parameters, content is analyzed,
dissected and composed to
provide hierarchy and clarity
to facilitate and enhance
communication. A synthesis of
form and content is the aim to
expand the visual and verbal
semantic expression.

The goal of this project was
to recognize the relationships
between the forms and
counterforms of the letters in the
Univers 65 family. Provided with
6 shapes, we placed the letters on
them in a way that emphasized
their, either contrasting, or
uniform qualities. Variation of size
and rotation were encouraged.

The objective of this assignment was
to gain experience in developing
a visual system in real-world
application. Through several phases,
a stationary system and specific
typographic usage is created. The final
logo selection from phase 5 is used
to create a consistency between a set
of stationary including a letterhead,
businesscard, and poster.
