TYPOGRAPHY

The Project

Role: Designer

Project Type: Type Design

Tools: Indesign & Illustrator

Year: 2025


This many projects allowed me to explore type as both form and function. I produced a range of deliverables—including an event poster, a typeface specimen booklet, and a designer research zine—each showcasing a different facet of typographic expression. These pieces were rooted in historical study, visual hierarchy, legibility, and design systems.

Event Poster

Sketches

I experimented with alignment, typographic scale, spacing, and weight to create a system that balances structure and excitement. I used centered and flush-left alignments to contrast structured data (event times and prices) with flowing, narrative text.

  • Use only typography to communicate a multi-event schedule for the National Aquarium.

  • Build a clear visual hierarchy that separates key event information, dates, and pricing.

  • Work with constraints—no imagery or color—focusing purely on form, space, and flow.

Final Design

I experimented with alignment, typographic scale, spacing, and weight to create a system that balances structure and excitement. I used centered and flush-left alignments to contrast structured data (event times and prices) with flowing, narrative text.

The final piece establishes a strong typographic rhythm, with clearly defined entry points (event titles) and supporting information. The refined use of whitespace and consistent type style creates a dynamic yet organized layout.

Type Booklet

Logo Sketches

  • Present the typeface through expressive yet educational layouts.

  • Highlight character anatomy, stroke contrast, alignment, and spacing.

  • Showcase digital typesetting for headlines, body copy, and decorative use.

Features

  • Full font family overview: Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic.

  • Character spotlight: “e,” “g,” and “t” analyzed in detail.

  • Thematic design keywords: “Balanced,” “Modern,” “Geometric,” “Friendly.”

  • Emphasis on display and interface versatility through mock layouts.
