Recipes & Typography

Welcome

The recipes in this book are a collection from the students enrolled in Digital Typography (GrC 318) in the Graphic Communication Department at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.

Students were asked to choose one of their favorite recipes to design a four-page layout using Adobe InDesign and their own photography. The last page of each recipe includes a note about the fonts they used and a bit of history about the typeface.

Choosing a typeface for a cookbook is an important decision. Is the typeface easy to read? Does the font have the appropriate special typographic features such as fractions and alternate characters? Does the font have different weights such as italic, semi-bold, bold, etc?
