History
This book was created as a final project for my typography class as we had to apply our skills and knowledge of page layout and design.
Though it’s goal was to be a world wide font, Antique Olive only really stayed in France until it became available through cold type. It also became offered by the adobe systems
Antique Olive and it’s different styles can be seen in projects such as the Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift and the previous Air France logo
