Hand-bound Univers specimen booklet cover

A typeface explored as a system.

Created for DSGN 331 at Western Washington University, this hand-bound specimen booklet examines Univers through its history, anatomy, classification, weights, sizes, and letterforms. A black-and-white editorial system uses a space-themed visual language to turn typographic research into a compact, tactile reference.
