This is the tenth edition of our monthly type specimen poster project!

“Field of Feelings”

This poster features Aldine, a nearly ubiquitous font in it’s day that is still beloved today. There are several digital revivals of different weights and variations of this classic early wood type font. This font was patented by William H. Page on March 15th 1870 so we decided to make a poster to celebrate its sesquicentennial! We’ve been going through such a rollercoaster of emotions with the current state of events so we wanted this poster to be relevant to the time it was created while also creating a bit of positivity and reprieve from the seriousness that we face each day.

Each poster in this series consists of a pangram, a sentence that contains all the letters in the alphabet, showing off a different typeface from the Jon Selikoff Collection here at IS Projects.

5% of all proceeds from this projects will go to the Greater New York Chapter of the ALS Association in Jon’s memory to raise awareness and fund research for a cure!
