Typeface Comparison 6

I am comparing Kabel Book and Futura typefaces. 

• Both typefaces focus on using circular shapes in their letterforms-- for Futura it is in its bowls, and in Kabel it is in both its bowls and other aspects of its letters such as two story A's and G's
• The set width in Kabel Book seems just slightly larger than in Futura.
• Both are san serifs and have no visible contrast in the modulation of the letterforms
• The weight is heavier in Futura than in Kabel Book.

I am comparing Bookman and Baskerville typefaces

• Bookman appears to have a wider set width
• Bookman's letters are heavier than Baskerville
• Bookman employs the use of angles into the serifs of their capital letters as opposed to Baskerville which tends to have serifs with 90 degree serifs.
• Baskerville's letters have more contrast in their modulation than Bookman. 

Theodore Roosevelt Poster - More Thumbnails

Hey guys, here's some more thumbnails I've done. I'm trying to regain the power, strength, and titanic feel of Roosevelt's character that I think was lost with previous thumbnails. These thumbnails are very rough and some have been photoshopped to experiment with scale and composition so please forgive me. Let me know which example you think works the best.




In this one, the word "Roosevelt" has been lightly sketched at the bottom. In this version, it would reflect the same size, look, and shape of the word "Theodore" as above.

Typeface Comparison 4

This week I am comparing Copperplate and Engravers Roman typefaces.

• There is much greater contrast in modulation in the letterforms of Engravers Roman than Copperplate in which there is very little modulation at all.
  
• Both typefaces are serif fonts but the serifs on Copperplate are very small and subtle whereas on Engravers Roman they are much larger and more obvious.
• Both typefaces do not have lowercase versions of their letterforms (they are all uppercase).
• The shape of the letterforms in Copperplate are much more rigid and angular than in Engravers where they are smoother and more graceful.
  

Typeface Comparison 3

For my third comparison I'll be comparing Univers 55 and Gill Sans.

Similarities:

• Both are Sans Serif Fonts
• Both have similar modulations of low contrast

Differences:

• Gill Sans has a slightly smaller set width
• The bowls in the letterforms of Univers 55 are more oval like, where as the bowls in Gill Sans are more of a segmented circle shape
  

I've been having difficulty scanning in my design work on a regular basis (I don't have access to a scanner at home on a consistent basis), so please bear with me. I will try uploading all of my work as soon as I can.
