Typographic specimen

This typographic specimen is created using Tiempos Text, a typeface inspired by Times New Roman, designed for everyday use in newspapers. The typographic specimen is therefore presented as a newspaper, allowing the typeface to be showcased in its original context. I used and adhered to Libération's newspaper grid to create this specimen, staying as close as possible to an authentic newspaper format.

I also produced a printed leaflet using Risograph printing, which combines the typeface with imagery. It includes an excerpt from the text "Histoire politique et littéraire de la presse en France" by Eugène Hatin.
