(Above) Front: The Type Specimen Poster is A1 size, printed on semi-gloss paper in rich black. It is a spelling sheet with Phonemic pronunciations to accompany a list of highly specific and peculiar words that I selected.
(Below) Back: A 230pt type waterfall accompanied by a type staircase - the layout of which was inspired by the classic Star Wars opening credit sequence.
(Above) The Type Specimen Leaflet. It is 10x14" and printed on transparent 30lb marker paper, with the text on the front and little half-tone (windy blue and magenta) shapes on the back. Shapes include: a gummy worm, an afro pick, a leg, saturn, a party hat, and a balloon.
(Below) A print of the Type Specimen Leaflet - each print is different. The sun shines light on the transparent nature of the paper and the relationship between the letters on the front and the shapes on the back. This was an uncropped proof. Better pictures on their way.
(Above) The Postcard Series. Each postcard is 4x6" and with a back. Printed on matte 100lb Soho Grey paper, with a light tooth.
