Typology: A Classification of Typefaces is an editorial publication that celebrates the history of typefaces. It explores and breakdown’s categories, characteristics, anatomy and alternatives of typefaces and fonts. In honour of a typologist, one could call this publication the ‘Type Bible’.

Tasked with designing and putting these historic typefaces on display, I favoured a minimal and simple approach that is simultaneously engaging. The publication is an easy, referential dissection of type, invoked by a subtle ‘x-ray’ theme. Informing this idea further the stock, quality of materials, binding and colour has been chosen to reflect the silky, screened quality of an x-ray film. The publication is contained within a sleeve which one removes to ‘see beneath’ these typefaces. In developing my concept, I created a system of repetition that offered a full showcase and exploration of each classification, inside and out, for easy comparison and reference.
