A detailed examination and analysis of the geometric sans-serif typeface designed by Paul Renner. I delved deep into the anatomy, history and creator of the typeface as well as showcased its many variations and famous uses. I kept my color palette simple as to let the typeface shine, using a stimulating and vibrant red to convey my passion for typography.
