One of the most painful, but beneficial assignments we've done in Semester 1 :)
The brief asked us to collect one example each of the various Type Families ~ Old Style serif, Transitional serif, Modern serif, Sans serif, Slab serif, Script, Decorative and Blackletter and identify them. We needed to include the name the font, when it was designed, who designed it (a small bio) and what we thought of the font and its usage.
The second part was to find as many examples as possible that used letters as their main message; be it calligraphy, stone carving, signwriting, graffitti, neon signs, tatts, embroidery, skywriting, urban alphabet, domestic alphabet, etc.
Here is my interpretation of the brief:
