Our prompt for this project was to create a poster inspired by an essay about a specific typeface. The essay I was given, "Modern Style with a Human Face" by John D. Berry, examined the origin, style, and characteristics of the Kepler Typeface, designed by Robert Slimbach. The Poster Project also included an accompanying essay I wrote about the Kepler typeface and the design choices behind the creation of the poster.
The inspiration for the poster comes directly from the typeface's namesake, Johannes Kepler, a German astronomer and mathematician. The color scheme and theme is taken from the Adobe Fonts page for the Kepler typeface.
