5 visual moments

Clean architectural structure with geometric shadows.
01 Letterform rhythm starts from simple geometric relationships.
Exterior architectural form with strong rectangular shapes.
02 Retail-scale forms informed signage and display use.
Printed paper materials and design samples.
03 Specimen pages show how the type behaves in print.

Visual system

Each project gets room for atmosphere, detail, process, and final work.

The case study format now supports a richer visual sequence, so project pages can behave more like designed stories than text pages with one cover image.

Design tools and sketches on a workspace.
Process studies test proportion, weight, and spacing.

Brief

Develop a sans serif typography direction that can support the Longs Drugs brand across signage, web, promotions, and everyday retail communication.

Concept

Longs Sans is built around clarity, sturdy proportions, and a familiar retail voice.

System

The case study can show specimens, display sizes, body copy tests, signage use, and interface examples.

Outcome

This page should make the type study feel like a real brand asset, not just a lettering exercise.
