RISDSIGDS: Type Specimen Poster

This project was an assignment for a Typography class that I took with Ernesto Aparicio at the RISD Summer Institute for Graphic Design in the summer of 2016.

The goal of this assignment was to create an interesting composition to showcase a typeface of our choice. We were required to include the name of the typeface, a sample of the full upper and lowercase alphabets, a pull quote about the type, a short essay on the history of the typeface, and to choose a single letter to use as a form in our composition.
