Franklin Gothic Specimen Book

A type specimen book project exploring the history and visual impact of Franklin Gothic, a typeface widely recognised for its use in newspaper headlines. Inspired by its iconic appearance in the “WAR IS OVER” headline, the project incorporates some of the most memorable newspaper headlines into the design, with the cover unfolding into a newspaper-inspired format.

The layout aims to capture the bold, impactful nature of editorial typography while celebrating the historical presence of the typeface in print media.
