As the final project in VCD - Typography at the University of Notre Dame, my peers and I were tasked with creating a type speciman book, or an exhaustive, book-like piece that told the story of a certain font. For my project, I choose the font Akzidenz Grotesk. After researching the typeface and learning about its integral role in Swiss Design, I decided to create a Swiss Design "poster archive" that one might find in a library or museum. Along with utilizing the typeface throughout each "page" in the collection, the posters' content tells the interesting story of the first "commercial sans-serif."
