For my type spec sheet, I chose to use Didot. It's an early modern typeface which has very thick vertical strokes, and thin horizontal strokes. It's a serif font, but because it exaggerates the rules of serif fonts, it is much more of a display type than something that you could read for long periods of time. Personally, I think it's beautiful. I chose to base the type sheet around the T, because it highlighted the strokes of Didot and created a perfect simple grid for organizing the information. I made the V look like its swooping around the T just because I thought that looked really cool.
