Verdana Type Specimen Book

The Verdana font is a modern font that is primarily used for screen purposes. It usually functions as a default font on Macs and PCs. This type-specimen book challenges the constraints of the Verdana font. By incorporating “Googie” style into the type-specimen book, the intent is to rebrand the modern font with a more retro-themed style. “Googie” style works well because it was introduced in 1930’s Southern California and became popularized in the late 1940s and 1950s. It pays tribute to the space age, atomic age, and the car culture. The Verdana type-specimen book allows viewers to imagine the font in other contexts.
