Avant Garde Specimen Book
Topic: Type Specimen, Book Design
Medium: Adobe Indesign
Size: 8" x 8" (48 pages)
The Avant Garde Specimen Book is a type specimen book layout design, made to showcase the Avant Garde typeface’s characteristics.
While working on this project, I focused on the elements that a type specimen book requires and what particular features of the Avant Garde font makes it unique.
Spreads from the specimen book. Table of Contents, Character Sets, Sizes and Weights, and Overview of the Typeface spreads are shown.
This spread showcases a layout that resembles a periodic table but with letters, numbers, and punctuation marks instead of natural elements.
This was an intentional design to convey that how each component is crucial for consisting the whole typeface like how elements forms chemical compounds.
