Goudy Typeface Poster - Fall 2014

This project was intended to highlight the humanist and elegant features of the Goudy Old Style typeface in a poster that included a the full alphabet and the creator.

Minimal Letter Forms

Acheivements - The “Q” and the other larger letters are very unique and show some of the more intersting qualities of the Goudy typeface. The full alphabets frame the left and bottom of the poster while the top and the right side are open. This conveys some of the structure and whimsy that the typeface gracfully ballances.

Challenges - It took great attention to detail in order to place each character on the poster taking into account the size, color, location, and proximity to other characters. The color scheme had to be pleasing, but gentle and cohesive enough to reflect the typeface.
