Introduction

This project explores the evolution of the Bookmania typeface, a modern revival of the classic Bookman Old Style. I aimed to highlight its transformation from the 1900s to its digital revival in 2011. Through a detailed timeline and design elements like color palettes and typography, I show how traditional typefaces can adapt to modern design. It reflects my interest in blending historical elements with contemporary aesthetics for a cohesive user experience.

Design

These colors were chosen to balance elegance and modernity. The soft cream and pink evoke a vintage, classic feel, while the vibrant yellow and muted green add energy and a natural touch.
