This project was for my Typography class. The assignment requirements were:


Create a booklet for a CD containing both the True Type and Open Type (.TTF and OTF.) versions of a typeface.
This booklet should display a minimum of three members of the type family (roman, italic, and bold) and give background information on both the typeface designer and the typeface itself, situating the importance of the typeface and typographer historically.
There should be a minimum of 200 words of historical information.
You may use black, white, and two colors.
The alphabet must be represented in upper and lowercase its entirety in roman, italic, and bold.
There is not a size (and consequently not a page number) specification for the booklet, other than that it must hold a CD. That gives us a minimum size specification of 4.75"
One page must contain a letter whose height (either cap-height or x-height, depending on the case) is 4.75".
There should be an image of the original typeface.
