TYPE SPECIMEN BOOK RESEARCH
IBM Plex Sans Typeface Specimen
I was happy to find a book specific to the typeface I'm using. It focuses on IBM Plex Sans and has some really great layouts and colour.
The cover of this book uses an interesting layout. I like how the letters in ‘IBM’ have been asymmetrically placed and the ‘Plex Sans’ fits nicely in-between.
There is a lot of Swiss elements throughout this book which I think works great with this typeface as it’s a sans serif. The text at the top of the right page has a nice angle and balances out the body text nicely as a spread.
The left page here features only 3 letters but is still impactful with the experimentation of colour and line. The right page has a nice waterfall effect and I really like how the top half has been rotated to create a mirrored style.
Although seperate pages, the text from the left page looks to be entering the right page at the bottom. This shortens the right page and almost acts like a border. I think the way in which it has created a new form is really clever.
Aeonik Pro
The cover of this book is super playful, featuring letters, numbers and glyphs and even has a smaller version (black and white) which focuses on the glyphs and “sculptural expression within the typeface across Latin, Greek and Cyrillic alphabets”. I like how the type moves down the spine when stacked like this.
This spread has a really nice balance between colour and point size. As an intoduction/beginning page I think using the ‘a’ is a nice way to signal that.
The way this design has utilised both regular and italic fonts in individual lines is really clever and the reader is able to further understand how each one operates through a small paragraph aligned to each. I definitely want to try create something similar to this in my book.
A nice break from the black text on a white page and an interesting way of representing glyphs. It’s very tidy and I think something I will consider when exploring the IBM Plex glyphs is the placement and how each one works with each other to create an interesting visual.
This is probably my favourite spread in this book. The balance between the large text and body text is sharp and clean. By rotating text 90 degrees it creates a second layout and the variation in styles is another great element to this spread.
This spread is another big inspiration for the direction I want to go in. I like how there is a colour inversion between the pages and the gradient style on the right page sits nicely against the bold glyph on the left.
RM Pro Font
Because the name of this typeface is simply ‘RM’ I think it was a good choice to present the front and back covers of the book in this way. I will also be using blue and white for my typeface specimen book so it’s really nice to see these colours presented in a similar format.
This spread is very similar to a lot of other work I’ve seen but that’s probably because it’s just a really effective way of presenting the different weights in a typeface. I like how this one in particular uses both the alphabet and glyph forms as body text instead of just a paragraph or excerpt from something.
A really nice layout to display a single font. The placement of colour is well and angles is well thought out and I think overall this spread has a nice rhythm to it.
Type presented in a park subway system signage which immediately made me think of the work of Massimo Vignelli. This is something I haven’t seen a lot of in my type specimen research and I think it’s a great way of emphasising a typeface’s features and legibility.
Another great way of displaying the alphabet and glyph forms in a this typeface. There is almost a flush-left, ragged-right style due to the top and bottom lines falling short however it still has a nice balance. Again, the placement of each glyph is well thought out so that each one works in harmony to create an effective visual layout.

Specimen Booklet Research + Images
I've researched different sorts of specimen booklets to understanding ways in how they display typefaces - to convey the meaning and showing what makes this typeface unique.
In ways, this will help to set the basis in regards to how I would like to convey my typeface and its background behind it.
Aeonik Pro
"As a result, Aeonik Pro is now sharper, tighter, and more versatile than ever... The A6 sized booklet focuses on the glyphs and sculptural expression within Aeonik Pro, whereas the A4 booklet showcases the possibilities and visual expression of this extensive typeface."
Simple, yet effective way to show contrast that focuses the differences in regards to weight, layout of text etc.
