Typeface Research & Specimen
I was asked to search for a typeface that could be used as one of the future pillars of the M&S masterbrand. I compiled and designed a 99 page typeface specimen of my research, which I based on the romantic lyrics of Hal David. I felt this helped to give the options greater resonance with the purpose the typeface is intended for.
The specimen was designed not only for use as a book, but also to be printed as larger scale posters for discussions. The pages shown above are for the current M&S typeface, to maintain client confidentiality.
