A Tablet Ebook
This is an individual graphic design project. I started it from a research of Goudy Old Style typeface. I made a typography poster with this typeface. I wanted to use this typeface in some modern products so I made this tablet ebook with it.
Goudy Old Style is a classic old-style serif typeface originally created by Frederic W. Goudy for American Type Founders (ATF) in 1915. Suitable for both text and display applications, Goudy Old Style is a graceful, balanced design with a few eccentricities.
The Goudy Old Style poster is made to intorduce the history and timeline of the typeface development. I was doing some researches about classic typeface and I decided to make a poster for my research. I find out that Goudy Old Style is the text typeface used in Harper's Magazine. It is still a classic and very popular typeface today. Goudy Old Style font family is the official typeface of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon, Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. It is also used by the National University of Colombia. It is also the standard body text font for Key Club publications. The bold italic weight is used for the wordmark of Whittard's.
After my typeface research, I decided to use Goudy Old Style typeface to design a tablet ebook about the history of American Inventions.
