This was a brief from my design course to come up with a type poster design for the International Typography Awards using one typeface, in this case Clarendon. I chose Clarendon from researching typefaces and found that it was used extensively in old newsprint from the 19th century. This poster was inspired by old newsprint styles of that time and Clarendon was the perfect choice.
The colours, namely creams and grays, are used here to enhance the look and feel of old newsprint.
The chartreuse (yellow) was included for some interest and contrast.
