type house

a publication

The Coffee House Type Book was inspired by House Industries, the typeface company, which creates themed booklets around a variety of typeface series they sell at different seasons. I was assigned this project at university, where I was to essentially create a House Type booklet, based around a theme of choice. I chose the title of Coffee House and was inspired by the Beat movement of the 1960s. I selected typefaces that reflected 1960s funk or handmade styles, and titled each after a term within Beatnik lingo. I also showcased each typeface by selecting quotes from various Beat poets. For the shape of the booklet itself, I created it in such a way where the panels begin small, and the booklet can be opened to display larger design and panels; resulting in the backside of the booklet to have a poster of the 1960s icon Bridget Bardot.
