Typography Exercise Rilke Quote

This project was an exercise in typography. Because of this, I stuck with a simple gray-scale. I chose my fonts for the big center text first because I felt that they should be emphasized and the center of attention for the quote. We were instructed to use multiple fonts that worked well together and keep our colors to a minimum. We were also given the freedom to choose any quote. The quote I chose really led to my font decisions. I used script for the most powerful words in the quote and then balanced them by using a blockier simple text for the surrounding text. The fonts I used for the words "Beauty" and Terror" were specifically chosen to try and connect the visual writing of the word to its meaning.
