Type specimen books- Two Times Elliot

Two Times Elliot are a design agency based in Notting Hill in London, they have a diverse range of work. What particularly interested me were these type specimen books printed using Riso printing, each individual book is created by Two Times Elliot and various designers on placements. These books show case the various typefaces in interesting ways using the different weights and sizes. What makes the designs striking are the use of the black and orange contrasting colours.
