Type Specimen Poster

I chose a fairly new typeface that came bundled with CS3 called 'Arno'. My main goals were to show that this font is a modernized version of classic Italian typefaces, and to somehow represent the bridge/river the typeface is named after.


My main inspiration came from these vintage Italian posters. They are classic Italian, but still feel fresh.


I noticed they had common features, which I also included in my type specimen poster.
- a thick border around the edge
- a central figure/object
- large font towards the bottom for the title
