D3 F24 Font Mannerism

In class, each of us were given a typeface to focus on for the first half of the semester. I was assigned Futura, a geometric sans-serif created in 1927 by Paul Renner. Its hallmark features include clean, minimalist lines, sharp angles, and perfectly circular forms, embodying the spirit of modernist design. Studying the rich history of Futura, I wanted to incorporate the modern design into my work.

In this project, I was assigned the typeface "Helvetica". I could either chose Helvetica or Helvetica Neue, but I chose Helvetica Neue because of its varying weights. I studied and researched about Helvetica and Helvetica Neue and designed this font folio using what I found. I chose a color palette of brown, light pink, and light blue, which connects to my trope packaging project.

For this project, I was tasked with conducting an in-depth study of a randomly assigned typeface. I received Meta, a font designed by Erik Spiekermann in 1991. Known for its legibility and versatility, this Humanist Sans-Serif performs well in both print and digital formats, as well as across various point sizes. Personally, I found Meta to be quite plain. To reflect its simplicity and reliability, I embraced a minimalist approach in my design, focusing on clean, organized layouts and a palette of cool colors.

For this project, we were randomly assigned a type family to analyze. I was given the typeface Trade Gothic by Jackson Burke, a grotesque, sans serif known for its squared appearance and legibility. The 13 pages display characteristics of the font and contrasting features between the typeface’s contemporaries Helvetica & Univers.

For the Font Mannerism Folio we were assigned a font and had to go on a deep dive to show how it can be used. My font is Mrs. Eaves, and I chose to explore a warm and cozy vibe I got from its fun, serif look! I am highlighting My cover, and my explorations with its contemporaries!

I was assigned a transitional sans-serif typeface, Univers, designed by Adrian Frutiger, and I was tasked to explore it through an in-depth analysis of the typeface and its distinctive features. It is a very diverse typeface emphasizing clarity, precision, and a lack of ornamentation, favoring functionality and simplicity, reflecting the Swiss Design Movement it emerged in. Univers was designed as a comprehensive system with a large range of weights and widths with a numbering system. This made it ideal for both display and body text, and it could be used in a variety of media, from print to signage, which is explored in the project.

For this project, I was randomly assigned a typeface to work with. I was given Sabon, an old-style serif known for its legibility. My Font Mannerisms reflects Sabon's timeless and balanced qualities.
