Chaparral Typeface
For my advanced typography course, we were tasked with research on a specific typeface. I received Chaparral, a typeface created by Adobe type designer Carol Twombly. Because of the hybrid qualities of the type, I wanted to create a website/print-looking design. The dimensions are 9x8 per page, 16x9 for the whole spread to mimic a website's dimension.
