Centennial is a typeface created by Adrian Frutiger in 1986. This type specimen book was created using a 1980’s design style. The design elements, including bright colors, geometric shapes, and pop culture, all borrow from the 80’s. More specifically, the book focuses on the graphic design and artists featured in MTV (Music Television), which debuted in 1981. Before YouTube existed, MTV was a way for the public to watch music videos, and ended up promoting careers of well-known artists such as Michael Jackson and Madonna. By using this style, this book shows the versatility of Centennial as a typeface that can be used universally.
