I initiated with extensive research and content gathering, collecting over 30 images, emphasizing consistency and clarity in capturing typefaces.
In the audit phase, I examined index and archival websites, focusing on understanding layout, grid, and interaction patterns.
Defining a visual strategy based on content, I ensured a cohesive voice, consistent image treatment, and explored type pairings, including variable fonts, foundry considerations, and form. This approach aimed at establishing a foundation for the subsequent design phases, integrating thoughtful research into the visual identity of the micro-type index.
