I was given the typeface Sabon designed by Jan Tschichold in 1964 to explore and create a folio for.
After doing some research on Sabon's history and learning about who and why it was created. I did some specimen sheets on the different flavors it came in.
The typeface read as elegant and timeless to me. It is used in a variety of ways such as documents, headings, books, etc. This lead me to the words balanced, understated, and subtle. I played with typesetting the font in many ways with different sizes, leading, and tracking.
Last I dived a little deeper into the typeface, comparing the subtle differences between the styles found in Sabon's family.
