Kerning and Co Typeface Specimen Book
Four page A4 landscape (1123x794) type specimen on warm paper in ink and specimen red: a cover with a huge Bricolage Grotesque Agd crossed by labelled 2px metric rules, a 13 by 6 character set grid with one red cell, a size waterfall from 120 to 13 with red size labels and metric lines, and an in-use spread pairing a red festival poster with an editorial column, titled in Instrument Serif. Precise, quiet and foundry-like, it is organised as cover, glyphs, sizes and applications with a consistent folio.

How to make it yours
- Start with the largest text, the "Cover glyphs" layer set in Bricolage Grotesque, and swap in your own words.
- Then rewrite "Size 120" (Bricolage Grotesque) and "Poster headline" (Bricolage Grotesque) with your details.
- There are no photos to replace, the design is built from type and shapes.
- Change the background from #f2eee6 to your own colour, then recolour the accents in #141414 and #e0301e.
- Keep the 4 pages you need, duplicate the ones you want more of and delete the rest.
- Export a PNG to post, or a PDF if you need one.
