Eckhart Typeface Specimen Book, 2023
The aim of this project was to create a type specimen booklet that showcases Eckhart’s elaborate and distinguishing characteristics while capturing its essence and unique personality. The specimen booklet design uses a minimal and reductive approach to represent these features.
The typographic rhythm of the specimen booklet is made consistent, guiding readers through a layout that exhibits both the informative and display setting elements in a systematic manner. The variation in scale and weight, emphasises to readers the versatility of Eckhart in various settings, as it contains 5 subfamilies, which includes Text, which makes reading more legible for smaller texts like body copy. On the other hand, the use of swashes and ligatures helps readers to observe the variety of Eckharts's stylistic capabilities and introduces elements of playfulness and movement. The colour palette is also chosen to create vibrancy and contrast while maintaining sophistication. This helps to create a distinctiveness to the design of the specimen booklet.
