Week 6, Specimen 1


Analyze: The type specimen here is an example of a sans serif typeface in all caps. All of the letters also appear to be very similar in width. The crossbar of the "A" is lower than the crossbar of the "H". The widths of the strokes all seem to be uniform. The ends of the strokes are completely horizontal or vertical, except on the "C" where they are angled. The middle stroke of the "E" is shorter than the top and bottom strokes.

Classify: Display, Sans Serif, All Caps

Define: I think this typeface communicates trendiness and is modern.

Comment: I found this specimen on a banner next to and office building. I really like this typeface and I think it pairs well with what appears to be a serif that displays "999". The rest of the banner has a trendy, cool design, and I think this typeface fits well with it.
