Typeface essay
Souvenir
Souvenir was designed by Morris Fuller Benton, who served as director of typeface development for the American Type Founders Company in the early twentieth century. The face was first shown in 1914 as a single-weight design with no italic complement. Souvenir wasn’t promoted again until the famous 1923 ATF specimen book, where its modest two-page showing was overshadowed by the 12 and 15 –page showcases devoted to other designs. Few orders were placed for fonts of Souvenir’s handset type. After Its ineffective 1923 promotion, the design lay dormant for over forty years until phototypography gave it a second chance.
Souvenir is a friendly and sociable typestyle with no sharp edges and no strong contrast in stroke thickness and nearly no right angles perfect to be use in imaging environments.

A1 poster
Fools rush in were angels fear to tread is a quote by Alexander Pope, an English poet of the eighteenth century. The quote refers to the rash or inexperience who attempt things that wiser people are more cautions of.
The reason I came up with this idea for my poster is that the quote can refer to men’s as fools rushing into relationships for so many reasons rather than love without think about the outcomes of it and I feel that it could suit for a men’s magazine.
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread is not an easy quote to deal with it and I found it hard to illustrate, hope u guys like my final piece of art.
