THE ANATOMY OF TYPE

BODONI URW MEDIUM

The letters within a typeface are typically arranged in either the alphabet or a combination of words that together make a phrase or sentence. While this presentation directs the readers imagination toward the story or message that's being conveyed, it simultaneously draws the attention away from the individual letterforms within a typeface. In order to refocus our attention to a simple appreciation of the letterforms themselves, the anatomy of this typeface has been explored through a unique arrangement of letters by like characteristics. Each typeface contains a unique collection of strokes and figures that are simultaneously related yet unique. The goal of this arrangement is to bring focus to the art of the typeface itself and highlight the consistent shapes throughout while showcasing the anatomy of the type.
