Here you find me examining the forms and counter forms of letters and numerals expressed in six different, yet common and often overlooked, fonts. Choosing one character per font, then exploring and exposing the features that particularly excited me, I then arranged it into a composition sure to capture the imagination, and instill a new appreciation for these humble forms. The following are presented for your consideration.
"Revolution Number Five" is brought to life by Futura Std. Smart, witty, and neat, Futura is good at making clear and bold statements.
Stemple Garamond brings two hapless lovers together in a sincere, gentle, and thoughtful way, "Hammer, meet Nail".
Rockwell Std. can be seen here expressing the old "Not Far From the Tree" proverb in the assertive, supportive, and mature way that only it can.
"Going Boing" shows off Bauer Bodini in a pleasant, carefree, and spirited way.
Utilizing Helvetica's lower case k to great effect, "Krash Test Stick Figures" exemplifies Helvetica's reputation for being fair, polite, and disciplined.
Platelet's preeminent special character shows off its calm, composed, yet jovial personality by asking, "Where You At?".
