Description:
Create a collage by arranging the same letter from a variety
of different typefaces in a harmonious composition.
Procedure:
A typology is a study of or analysis or classification
based on similar types or categories. The simplest scale is a single
note. Emphasis on a single note focuses the awareness on other parameters
like structure, form, rhythm and inflection. A good typology brings
together a collection of the most notable examples of a form and
reveals the sensuous in their difference.
In this exercise we will be creating a typographic typology.
In this case let's say our category is the letter E.
Be sure that each example of the letter you choose is taken from
a different typeface.
.
Aim for a collage of about 15 to 20 letters.
Create contrast by differentiating between size, color, serif and
sans-serif faces, lower and upper case.
