Typeface Project: NewsSerif Variable
6 Weeks | Adobe Indesign, Figma Design
Final spread layout


What was the Project About?
For the spread, I chose a color palette of black-and-white with a red as an accent color. I composed an essay about NewsSerif Variable's history and key qualities to use as the body copy of a four-page spread (one title page, a spread regarding the typeface in general, and its relevance to a certain assigned typographic term).
Next, I used Figma to create a typebook app prototype, showing how a user might compare font pairings, or explore different sizes and weights of the font. Demo clips of the app mock-up are shown below.
Spread iterations






Typebook App Prototype
Main Objectives of the App:
Show the font in use as both body text and as a header
Highlight standout features of its anatomy
Show the character set of the typeface, as well as any standout glyphs
Display samples of possible type pairings
Potentially some historical background and examples of the type in use in the real world.
