Typography C, Project 2: Type History Poster. Created through Adobe Illustrator. The assignment was to design a poster that showcased a classic type face; and I chose to work with the font, American Typewriter. Part 1 was to design a monochrome poster; only working with white, black, and grey. Part 2 consisted of two colored variations.

I like the retro feel, hope you do to :)

Typography - Printing, Typesetting, History: Whatever else the typographer works with, he works with type, the letter that is the basic element of his trade. It has already been said that there have been but three major type families in the history of Western printing: (1) black letter, commonly and not quite rightly called Gothic by the English; (2) roman, in Germany still called by its historical name of Antiqua; and (3) italic.
