a site that appears to be very, very selective about the fonts they give out, since they only offer a handful. despite that, it is DEFINITELY quality over quantity on this one. great finds! enjoy!

V2: COLOR
cut down the 15 fonts to only 6 (even though it was supposed to be 3-4 i couldn’t give some up :/ ), added color and some texture. i feel like as i was making this i was trying to make a new and interesting way to engage in mythology without all the overly roman or greek decor. i wanted colors and textures to fit each god/goddess, while remaining big and bold.
FIRST ATTEMPT @ COVER
screenshot of what i’m starting to work on here. i want my type specimen book to be about greek mythological figures. i’ve always found them fascinating, and nothing better than designing about something you enjoy. just going to work strictly in b&w for now just because it’s to be presented in b&w the first time, and we aren’t allowed photos yet. i don’t want to fuss with color until we’re allowed images because i’d probably end up changing most of it right away. anyway, this is also subject to change.
15 FONTS.
it has taken me forever to choose my fonts! once i start looking/downloading fonts, i can’t stop myself for hours most times. anyway, this is still subject to change just because once you start putting things together, you don’t really know what problems and needs will emerge along the way.
SWIPE.
moving and reposting everything from my original type blog on tumblr: typgrphy.tumblr.com
Big, bold and colorful! All the things that I love.
