Assignment: Design a poster that “advertises” a specific typeface by visually showcasing it and including a short blurb about it (text is provided).The poster should strongly communicate the characteristics of the typeface.Although the poster copy has been provided, you are encouraged to read up on the typeface you choose.
This exercise was meant to increase your awareness of type as image, while simultaneously showcasing the distinct characteristics of a typeface. Remember that typographic form can express both form and content.
