Typographic Posters

Series of three posters. Each one is inspired by the font’s historical context, character, and the format in which each is used.

Each poster contains the complete set of characters, figures, and dingbats, the year and place of its creation, the type classification period, and the designer or founder’s name. Didot and Futura each contain a paragraph on the history and significance of the typeface as well as a list of sources from the research.

Didot



Heavily inspired by the typeface's historical context, I wanted to create something that felt playful, modern, and intriguing, while maintaining a connection to the subject’s origin.

The color scheme is representative of its design taking place throughout the French Revolution, while homages to the Didot publishing house’s work are shown in the centered title page layout, the drop cap in the paragraph,  and the use of minimal lines and borders to separate titles of different hierarchies.
