A Single Trip aRound the Sun
A type specimen book for the Playfair typeface.
Designed with a theme to add an element of interest
above the letter forms simply being displayed on a white page.
The design was meant to showcase the feel and shape of the
letter forms as well as the beautiful glyphs included in this typeface.
a personal project
Based on a single day spent on the shore of Lake Michigan.
All of the copy in the book are my memories of summers spent in Crossvillage, Michigan, and things that my Papa used to say, or sing. This theme was meant to give the piece a life of its own.
