The Motley House

Booklet / 2009

This 12-page type specimen book uses the first chapter of the notorious Motley Crue autobiography The Dirt as its content. The book is designed to highlight certain areas of the text by means of scale, contrast and type choice.

At the same time it is meant to showcase a chosen family of typefaces. Using the likes of Agincourt, Bauer Bodoni, Sloop, Akzidenz Grotesk, and Fournier, it allows for a diverse mix of display type and text.

The book is printed on single sheets of uncoated paper and bound with Chicago screws.
