Result after tracing typeface.
Tracing letters with embossing pens to have a raised look to relate to quote
"Embossed letters represent the topography of typography" by Jarod Kintz
Applying embossing powder over wet ink from embossing pen.
After removing excess embossing powder I applied heat to try to create
a raised texture.
The embossing result. Didn't really work like it was supposed to,
but added an interesting texture.
My favorite page to make! Mustache theme to represent the
"Mustachio" typeface.

Tracing the "Mustachio" typeface on printed paper.
Wanted a rustic and vibrant style choice of paper to contrast each other.
"Mustachio" page completed.
Page for "Wireframe" typeface.
The typeface reminds me of the skeleton of a building so the word
that came to mind was "structural." The lines connecting the letters together
and going off the page remind me of their own structured system.
Anatomy showing the specific parts of letters.
I binded my book with the 3 hole binding method
using thread.
Inside view of 3 hole binding.
Here is the introduction page explaining the concept of my book.
First page of the cover. Kept the typeface simple and used a
textured paper that was somewhat transparent.
Second page of the cover. I used vellum as the material
since it's also transparent.
Third page of the cover. The idea is to flip through the cover pages reading,
"Exploring Handmade Type."

The finished product on display.
