Novel Type Specimen Book
A 12-page editorial booklet exploring the fundamentals of typography through The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. This specimen showcases Adobe Caslon, a classic serif typeface, emphasizing its elegance and historical relevance. The design uses a cohesive grid with a focus on visual hierarchy. The spreads integrate literary quotes, annotations, and image-text compositions.
Typography & Color
Being limited to one color, I chose a mossy and forest green palette, which evokes the novel’s strong connection to nature and the lush, restorative setting of The Secret Garden.
