In this project, we’re going to design a typeface by combining two disparate typefaces. We’ll then design a group type specimen book and a set of artifacts to further bring that typeface to life. 

We’ll look really closely at type, scrutinize the anatomy and details of a typeface, and design a cohesive system for the letters of our alphabets. 

We’ll get the first “parent” of our hybrid by tracing type from 19th and early 20th century type specimens.
