Letterspacing Exercise
Part I - Franklin Gothic Roman

Description
For this typography exercise I explored letter spacing in a hands-on way by hand-tracing the letterforms that make up the word “typography” in two different typefaces: Franklin Gothic Roman and Bembo Regular at 54 points in all caps and placing them how I thought they should be spaced to look tightly, normally and loosely spaced.
