IPad APP - Blackletter: Type and National Identity

This is the book that we began with. It is composed of essays abuot Blackletter written by various authoratives. 
The feature of this book is that it annotates the same annotations in different essays.
Our analysis of the book's content reveals that the essays compare a lot with Blackletter & Gothic / Fraktur & Grotesk, so we decide to put them into a comparison chart for people to grasp easily.
While researching about the book, we found another book that is limited edition, whcih came with an exhibition. It is a font book of Blackletters and we'd like to merge this with the previous book.
The main parts within the structure of our APP is the "Typelist," "essays & the comparison chart," and "My Scrapcase"
"Typoelist" is where user can look for specific font with several filters to navigate. 
"My Scrapcase" is a customized funtion as a letterpress typecase, where the users store what they want from the essays or the typelist; and therefore, they can use it as a tool to organize and compare their collection.
this is the whole video clip that appears on the main page of the APP.
