type specimen poster









Haven't posted in a while. I'm sure everyone has been waiting for updates with bated breath. Anyway, these are initial sketches, and then a larger one printed to actual size (shown in the last two) for a type specimen poster assignment. We had to choose a place and then choose a typeface that evoked that place. My place is a grove of spiky vertical trees by Wintergreen Lake in Rock Ridge State Park, and I chose Nobel Condensed as my typeface because of its geometric-ality. I was criticized for not making a 'postery' enough poster. Whatever.
