Assignment 06
Grids & Structure: Grid

Building on your “Typographic Experiment” assignment, design a third section or accompanying component focusing on your typeface’s characteristics. Your specimen design and layout should highlight the unique features of your chosen typeface. It should also exemplify how your typeface could be used.
include at least the following requirements across as many pages necessary. If in doubt, add more pages and give your content room to breathe rather than attempting to fit everything on as few spreads as possible. Next week, we will discuss your design system: grids, margins, and layout decisions. Lastly, Consider how this section should be integrated into your first “Typographic Experiment” publication.

Requirements
—Character Set, upper and lowercase with punctuation and numerals
—Example text setting, from 10pt to 70pt in 10pt increments
—3 spreads highlighting unique characteristics of your typeface, one characteristic per spread
—Minimum 5 page history describing the story of your typeface using text and historical images
