In considering all the levels of information and expression needed in a font family, I made sure to choose typefaces that supported micro-typesetting as well as conveyed mood and identity. I utilized the lesser know symbols of MICR in order to construct intricate patterning throughout the brand.

Deliverables

As a result, I was able to use the collateral as a means of expanding the application of your identity concept, demonstrating an ability to respond to the needs of a variety of different media contexts
