Typezine: my favorite typeface

After considering many possibilities,
students were asked to select their favorite
typeface—one with which they would
choose to have a “love affair.” On the basis
of the selected typefaces, six pages were
designed by each student to be combined
into a single collection (Figs.
11-72
and
11-73
). The content consisted of the
following: a title, type specimens, an image
having a metaphorical relationship to the
typeface, a love letter to the typeface, an
experimental interpretation of the typeface,
and a page revealing the research process.
This project exposes students to the
enormous range of available typefaces,
creating an awareness of the history, form,
and function of different typefaces.
