Type Sample Poster

A type sample poster is a poster that shows off a certain font, these posters normally have a sentence like ‘The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.’ This is done to show off all of the letters in a sentence. Most of the time the poster will have a set of uppercase and lowercase letters with the sentence below. I personally like this setup because it helps the viewer to see the font from all angles.

I have created my own type sample poster using the font ‘Bodoni 72.’ I used a full alphabet of capital letters in the centre top of the poster and the lower case alphabet below it in the centre bottom. Below that I have a sentence that reads ‘Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.’ I decided to go for this sentence because I think that it will make the reader try and find all of the different letters to see if it actually is all of them as it isn’t the most popular sentence will all of the letters in. Unfortunately I saved the file to my desktop and not my memory stick so I can no longer access it.
