OUGD603: Design Publication — Scans

As mentioned in a previous post, i've been collecting books / magazines I could use for potential type revivals. Here is a sample of scans of books i've collected. 

This old magazine was a perfect example for finding lots of potential typefaces, as it contains lots of adverts: 





















Really like the humanist serif at the back of this book: 



The front cover's typeface could be a potential to be developed:











Absolutely love this old advert, across a double page spread: 



























An interesting uppercase stencil:






The uppercase A in the below cover is extremely unique: 




















                                                                                                                                                        

Conclusion

I feel like i've got plenty of examples to work with, all over a broad scale of different types of typefaces: stencils, serifs, sans serifs, blackletter, etc. The next step will be closing examples to trace, and begin create the start of typefaces.
