What is its purpose?

Communicating the feeling and history behind a typeface is important when creating a type specimen book. Franklin Gothic is a typeface that is used in culture, business, the arts, and societal progress. This book uses a modern and clean design with a classic red/black/white color palette to tell the story of how Franklin Gothic came to be, and why it is so influential.

The creative process was a big part of designing this magazine. It was important that I put out the best version of each element, especially the masthead.
