Just My Type
Zine Design + Risograph Printing
For this project, I began by assessing my many interests and finding points of intersection including, but not limited to; typography, editorial design, accessible and economic design practices, and the printing process. Following this ideation was born the booklet, zine, or whatever you’d call it: Just My Type.
Just My Type is an interactive booklet and kit used to educate its users about the basics of typography, typographic history, and how typography is designed and utilized. Kit includes the risograph printed booklet, stencil, serif sticker sheet, buttons, and interactive poster. Topics covered in the booklet include the structure of typography, and anatomy of letterforms, as well as basic skills for using type (kerning, drawing, pairing, and classifying fonts). Using hands-on exercises and practices, users will gain an understanding of what type is and how to use it! Some activities include matching the typeface to its description as well as practicing typography design using the modular elements found on the 3D printed stencil.
