Towards A Universal Type

This is a narrative and specimen book combining Herbert Bayer's Towards a Universal Type, with my own type specimen pages.  
The intro in this book reads:
This narrative focuses on coming to a conclusive, universal type that would be easily read by all and eliminate the neccesity of capital letters.  For this reason, the book is designed in such a way that plays with the concept of readability and takes an experimental approach to some of the spread designs. Aside from the intro pages and the specimen pages, no capital letters will be used. This is to reinforce Herbert Bayer's theory that they are inconsequential to written communication.  Because the eye is paramount to the concept of reading, it has been abstracted into a circular design element throughout this book and the idea of vision plays a key role.
