Detailed Description

Classic typefaces are the ones that everybody wants to use over and over again. They are beautiful, and even in today’s day and age, they stand for whatever they were designed for decades ago. Because of the limitations of technology, we might not get the chance to use them in our designs today and treat our eyes to their visual richness. Most of the time, these classic typefaces are found in letterpress punches, photo compositions, or detailed drawings on paper. To use them, we need to revive them from these various mediums in the current digital medium. This serves as an attempt to understand the design thinking behind the creation of classic typefaces.
