Minuscule Type Specimen
Personal Project, Book Design, 2025

Inspired by ophthalmologist Émile Javal’s theory of compact prints, Minuscule is a typeface by Thomas Huot-Marchand designed for extremely small point sizes. To reflect its scale, I created a miniature type specimen centered around postage stamps – small, functional, and commemorative. As the point size decreases, the book explores shifts in legibility, ending with tearable stamps and a stamp-shaped magnifying glass.
