The original Clarendon design is credited to Robert Besley, a lover inside the foundry, and was initially engraved by. (or Thorowgood and Besley) of London, a letter foundry typically known as the Fann Avenue Foundry. I felt like these were very fun in the colour schemes with its vintage effect and particularly thought the information about the typeface was very humorous and game me ideas on what I could write on the back of my postcard as well as the front. Clarendon will be the title of the slab-serif typeface which was introduced in 1845 by Thorowgood and Co. Here I have found some more vintage style posters on Clarendon. The main thing I thought was most pleasing to the eye was the large scale lettering really capturing the font itself. When looking into this design by Kevin Gorisnic and the work gone into all of these pieces I have been looking at they have all used a variety of different sizes of the Clarendon font which creates an interesting effect of movement in the letters. However I didn’t think the piece was as eye-catching as the other ideas as they were ore bold and exciting. I thought this design was interesting in the way the girl is incorporated to the poster holding the latter giving the poster more of a story. This piece is a very narrative approach to explaining the letter. I think this piece by Daniel Zalewski is very effective in the way it has used angles to create an interesting shape in the poster I feel like it capture the audience and makes the information page an interesting graphic design piece that not only gives information but is pleasing to the eye. This would be quite a good letter to focus on on my timeline The letter G has also jumped out at me as it is quite an interesting letter with its link/neck and loop. It comes in ten styles: regular, medium, bold, with small caps and oldstyle figures counterparts, as well as stencil and sketch versions of the regular and the bold. It is such a simplistic layout but is very pleasing to the eye. This is the wide display companion to the Clarendon Text family. I like the way the designer Romain Roger has used The Golden Section. I feel like the simplicity of this piece is what is most effective here and although that it is simplistic in layout and design it is also quite detailed. The letters inside show the font itself showing upper/lower case letters from the font itself showing the style of the font. Serif fonts can be broken down even further into several subcategories (Old Style, Classical, Neo-Classical, Transitional, Clarendon, etc.). This piece had inspired me to use lettering inside of a letter of my clarendon postcard. The posters I have looked at have interpreted the typeface into imagery and have also interpreted slogans of which I must produce for the back of my postcard which has been a good source of inspiration for that.īy HannahTDesign. I have been researching different posters using the Clarendon font to create an interesting page.
