My type specimen book presented the typeface Officina along with information about it’s history and who created it followed by the essay The Crystal Goblet  by Beatrice Ward.  The purpose of this project was to present a typeface in a way that demonstrates and advertises it’s range and quality.  I chose Officina because it was a typeface that I was unaware of at the time and I admired the typewriter feel of it.  At the time of this project I had very little experience designing in InDesign and now looking back on it I am pretty proud of the work I produced.  This project was my first exposure to InDesign and book design.  It taught me the basics about alignment, tracking, kerning, and margins and briefly about book making since we used the saddle stick method to bind the physical book.
