For the Typotecture Project, seven students in Art 385 Advanced Typography selected a downtown building and designed a typeface based on research into the history, function and architectural style of the building, taking into consideration the materials, texture and colors of the structures.

Each designer has created a banner that shows photos of the building they chose, text about the building and a complete alphabet of their typeface design based on their research.

The banners will be hung in the windows at 1005 Main St. at the corner of 10^th and Main, and will be displayed through November. The students — Stephen Barrett (whose poster is picture above), Stephanie Carlson, Amanda Houts, Tanya Huff, Beth Layton, Glenn Rummler and Jade Wong — will be available from 5-7 p.m. Thursday at the building to discuss their work.
