Type Specimen Book
Print  |  Typography
This type specimen book displays the varieties of weights, styles, sizes, and uses of the Bodoni font. The design of the book uses only the Bodoni font and its variations in combination with a monotone color palette to reflect the elegant and modern appearance of the font.
The book contains several chapters, each containing a different category of font variations. This includes style, weight, size, and font use. The chapters are separated by consistent dividers that serve both further examples of characters as well as a visual break between each chapter.
The overall design of the book reflects the qualities of the Bodoni font. When Bodoni was developed, it became a standard for typographical elegance, and high end companies began to use it for logo designs. Many fashion companies use this font in their branding as seen in Vogue, Calvin Klein, and Zara.
The header that runs across all pages is reflective of magazine design, a common place to find the Bodoni font. In addition, the monotone color palette using a deep, forest green supports the elegance and timelessness of the font.
