A Conversation - Typography research

As my posters will focus heavily on type I decided to do some research into to type and then experiment with it. I took inspiration from Mike Perrys’ book “hand job’ which was extremely useful as it is full of many different typefaces compared to the standard ones you can get in your font library. 

These are some of the typefaces that interested me when going through the book; they are some similar ones but most of them are fairly different. On the next page I have tried out a few of them to see if they would work with the rest of the visual. 







These are some experiments using the typefaces from the book.
