Image(s) from the Lettering, Printing and Graphic Design Collections, Department of Typography & Graphic Communication, University of Reading.

.
Starting with just six glyphs from a given font, design additional letterforms in the same style by careful analysis of the existing shapes.

.
Inspired by the work of David Pearson, Harland Miller and others who enjoy playing with established design classics, create a perfect copy of a classic Penguin … then have some fun …

.
Start with some completely unformatted (and horribly copy-edited) text, and turn it into a coherently presented document that articulates an information hierarchy and supports user goals.
