Typography 2: Project 1

Spread from my book about the Type Family: Clearview. (Click to enlarge)

This is a spread from a book I made from a research paper about the typeface Clearview, which is being designed to replace the Highway Gothic font family on road signs across America.

It was a really cool project, and as I’d mentioned earlier, I got to work with the actual typographer behind the project, James Montalbano… He graciously licensed me the font for free, a $1000+ value! So cool. Full text of the book is available upon request. Pictures of the completed book forthcoming!
