Franklin Gothic: Type Specimen Book
In this type specimen book I designed on the Franklin Gothic font, I delve into its origins, variations, and anatomy. Designed by Morris Fuller Benton in the early 20th century, Franklin Gothic has become a staple in typography. It offers a range of weights and styles, from light to extra bold, providing versatility in design applications. Exploring its anatomy reveals distinctive characteristics such as its strong vertical strokes, open counters, and geometric simplicity, making it highly legible and suitable for various typographic purposes.
