Assignment #2: typographic responses to NY articles

It was a good opportunity to do some quick research about the type families. Type is essential for designing and I feel that I am still crawling.


First I was intended to focus o one time period. I skip Helvetica, cause it is beyond the probabilities to be chosen.


So 20's, 30's were my first choice: Futura 1927, Kabel 1928, Bauhaus 1925,  Universal 1925, Cooper 1920. But then it occurred that would be nice to get a different approach, cause some of them go around the same aesthetic.


50's- early 60's are the second time frame. Palatino 1950,  Egyptienne 1955, Helvetica 1957, Univers 1957, Sabon 1964, Eurostile 1962. Yes I surrendered to Helvetica. How obvious am I.
