I found this to be a great example of a modern type specimen book. This one was created to illustrate the Avenir typeface. I think the contemporary design is very neat, and utilizes only three colors to give more contrast and a focus on the font. Avenir is one of my favorite fonts, and I think this type specimen book’s design is an accurate representation the more modern and contemporary design of the typeface as well. This specific type specimen book is very interesting to me because the simplicity of the only using letters in the entire book, yet the letters are used to create patterns and eye catching features of the text.
