Twenty Typefaces that Changed the World — 2022
Twenty Typefaces that Changed the World was a university project focused on editorial design and utilising grid systems. We were given the opportunity to create a type specimen with a typeface of our choice. I decided on GT America by Swiss type foundry Grilli Type.

Since GT America was designed by a Swiss Type Foundry, it felt integral to include features that represented Swiss style. Taking inspiration from their classic posters, I took elements such as big typography and bold colours to create my specimen. Red, White and Blue were used throughout the design, signifying both America and Switzerland’s national flag colours.
