Digital and analog flyers for a free talk about Franklin Gothic on October 24, 2022, as part of Type@Cooper and The Lubalin Center’s Herb Lubalin Lecture Series at Cooper Union in New York City.
The flyers are set entirely in various weights and widths of HEX Franklin. The main title is set with the HEX Franklin Tyght variable font for extra-tight letterspacing, including an alternate set of non-overshooting round glyphs intended for similarly tight line spacing.
The physical flyers were printed on various Astrobrights papers in two variants: one with tear-off tabs along the bottom and one without.
