Typography I - Type Specimen Book


Open publication - Free publishing - More design

A type specimen book is meant to showcase a certain typeface in an appealing way. I decided to showcase the typeface Gill Sans Std for my type specimen book. Gill Sans appealed to me because of all of the different variations, even though Eric Gill didn't create all of them I later learned. Gill Sans is often referred to as the "Helvetica of England", therefore I used that as my theme for this book. Here is the book in its entirety.
