The goal of this assignment was to use a font created by a classmate and produce a type specimen, which showcases the font and its specific qualities. I was required to create specimens for: a set of three 18×24 printed posters. All of the specimens could only use black + one PMS color. We were told not to use any images in any of the specimens. The first poster had to show the phrase that inspired the typeface. The phrase dictated the look of the font which was jagged and sharp. I knew my specimen must adhere to the general feeling the font produced.
The second poster could only show one character. After brainstorming on ideas for the specimen, i decided on having a winter-like, icy, theme. The sharp points of the font are similar to icicles. I chose a light blue color which supported the theme.
The third poster had to show the complete character set I designed.
