Type Designer Poster Series
Type Designer Poster Series

For this project, I was tasked with picking a designer from a list spanning a large set of disciplines. After reserachign their work and impact of their field, I was supposed to create a work, or set of works, that would educate others on the significance of their career. The designer that I chose was Tobias Frere-Jones, a type designer based out of New York. The length to which his work interested me, as some of the typefaces were used by companies that I interacted with almost daily. With that in mind, I created a series of nine posters that detailed the three distinct eras I had noticed in his career. I had taken inspiration from promotional mailers that some type foundries used to advertise their typefaces. I did this with the goal of both bringing more visual interest and more information about each type family.Â
