Looking Back to Look Forward: Developing an Innovative Typeface

From research of historic typefaces and over 1000 primary documents at the Klingspor Museum, including sketches, notes, books, and posters found at the archive, I developed a typeface that doesn\u27t start from the ground up as New Typography did but instead uses elements connected with craft while not completely denying the machine or modernity. This project has impacted my views of design by furthering my understanding of typography, design movements, and the interchange between the two. I feel as though my knowledge will be a benefit to myself, the MNSU campus and to the professional graphic designers I have made connections with. The innovative typeface developed from this experience and research is a testament to the craft of typography and machine aesthetics of design
