Typography Book

Below are a few preliminary designs for the 16 page typography booklet I’m creating. Essentially it’s filled with interesting facts about the Trier/Luxembourg region as I lived there. It’s a topic that interests me greatly because living there was such an important an inspirational time in my life.

I chose red for a few reasons. One, it is the wine region of Germany, so I thought a symbol of red would be appropriate. Secondly, it’s a place of enormous history and energy. Therefore, I thought red would be also symbolic.

My choice of typefaces are:

A La Nage | CG Aldous Vert | Estilo | Interstate | Neutra Text | Bryant | ITC Lubalin Graph | Neutraface Slab | CG Geometric Lt | PMN Caecilia | Geometric Slabserif | Sauna | Sudestada Ends

I might also add how much I really love this kind of old, curly bold font that Sudestada presents! It really changes a whole piece into something romantic and beautiful. If anyone has any creative input or ideas, please feel free to post!
