Futura Typography Specimen Book

This project required research on essential parts of a working typeface, and in turn to develop a type specimen book to highlight and showcase one typeface (family). The project's ultimate purpose was to inspire the viewer to view the selected typeface in a new light. 

This design celebrates 90 years of Futura, and within its pages flaunts 20 style formats, that of which the first introduced by Paul Renner in the early 1900s. It is a "squeeky clean" approach to visual communication, and boasts a clinical style aesthetic that consists of one large A3 poster which incases collectors cards and a small information booklet. The stock used is waterproof and primarily designed for wear and tear by readers, as they learn more about Futura, one of the world's most famous and commonly used typefaces.
