Bourbon Font Specimen Booklet

This font specimen book showcases the Bourbon typeface, a design that blends the rugged charm of classic Western aesthetics with a contemporary twist. The typeface is celebrated for its strong, bold characters that evoke the spirit of the Old West, but in this specimen book, I introduced a fresh perspective by incorporating an overprint effect with vibrant blues and pinks.

The booklet presents a variety of typographic explorations, demonstrating Bourbon's versatility in different contexts—from headline treatments to body text. Each page is carefully crafted to highlight the unique texture and character of the typeface, emphasizing how the overprint technique adds depth and modern flair to a traditionally vintage style.

Throughout the design process, I focused on balancing the nostalgic elements of Bourbon with a playful, modern color palette, creating a specimen book that appeals to both traditionalists and contemporary designers alike. This project not only showcases my ability to work with type but also my understanding of how to blend historical influences with current design trends.
