Type History book: It's classic, romantic, and humane

description

I created a book, using only three typefaces: Garamond, Bodoni, and Gill Sans.

Chapter one: Garamond

As a reference, I looked at the Bible from early 18 century and tried to imitate the old, classic renaissance design.

Chapter two: Bodoni

To emphasize the elegance, feminine characteristic of Bodoni, I left a large margin around the text and used large letter space.

Chapter three: Gill Sans

A San serif typeface, Gill Sans, is designed by Eric Gill. Because it is a constructive, modern typeface, I played with juxtaposition to place it horizontally and vertically.
