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

“Stepping out in Summer”

This poster features Antique Double Outline Half Ray and Half Solid Shade AKA Antique Ornamented, a popular face in the 1800s. Antique ornamented was first presented by William H Page in the 1849 catalogue. The bold design creates a sense that the letters are leaping out at you from the page so we designed a poster that celebrates the optimistic coming out that the summer of 2020 felt like. The specimen takes the form of a word search with sunny summer fun words that can be found throughout the poster.

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!
