Typography: 2 Fonts Part 1.

Take a A2 size paper and draw/sketch two fonts. On serif and one sans-serif.
Choose whatever font you like and make a nice presentation where you can see the difference between the two chosen fonts. So that’s what I started with.

Fonts:
Adobe Caslon Pro (Download at Lynotype)
FF Din Next (Download at Lynotype)

Now I can start to write a lot about both fonts, history use and differences between them, but there are already a lot of poeple who did that, so here you can find more information about Adobe Caslon Pro and here you can find more information about FF DIN , Yes both are on wikipedia and it gives a great overview, but if you like the fonts just Google on them, there is some great stuff to read, especially about FF DIN, did you know Adidas uses it ?

Adobe Caslon Pro vs FF DIN Next.

So here are my fist sketches the I made last week, and so far so good. Next time I will show them when they are finished. The bad thing is that we have to glue both papers together and fold it into a book. To bad though, but I’m very curious about the results when that’s done.
