The ever-popular typeface booklet project. Mrs. Eaves led me on a research tour from its designer Zuzana Licko to John Baskerville and his wife Sarah Eaves and back to Licko's pioneering bitmap fonts. The brief asked us to teach the reader some basic information about type along the way, and of course to use our typeface expressively.
