DoubleStory

Dou­bleSto­ry start­ed as class mate­ri­als research for type design stu­dents at Type West. Over time, we out­grew our spread­sheets and decid­ed to try a dif­fer­ent for­mat for doc­u­ment­ing and shar­ing with oth­ers with sim­i­lar inter­ests. Our first two com­pi­la­tions are Type Anato­my and Clas­si­fi­ca­tion Sys­tems.
