UNITED
Poster and magazine design
The House Industries font United took over three years to perfect and was designed primarily by T. Leming. The face was originally based off of U.S. Military lettering and now has over 100 styles.
I chose to exemplify T. Leming in this typography project as his fight for digital and web typography through TypeSupply.com and web fonts both interested and inspired me. He, along with other designers, seek better solutions for displaying good typography online.
