Titled 'asef .. I'm sorry.
This poster stood out to me because of the eroded heart shape the words were formed into.




Titled Think Differently London 1. this poster was an ad campaign for London public transport to make you think differently. this poster grabbed my attention because it has a very blocky font yet has a definite feel of motion to it.

More Type posters

I googled for clever typographic posters and it came back with this site. Most of the posters on there were good with a lot of Si-Scott styled work but one poster that stood out to me was this one;




it just appealed to me because its simple with a good effect.


I also saw this poster after clicking on more work by Craig Ward

Motion Typography "kinetic Typography"

Also a related video I clicked on youtube of a "kinetic type animation" to a sound clip off pulp fiction one of my favourite films

Akzidenz Grotesk

a brief history of Akzidenz Grotesk

The design of Akzidenz-Grotesk was theorized to be derived from Walbaum or Didot, as demonstrated by the similar font metrics when the serifs are removed.[2] However, the font family also included fonts made by other foundries, such as the c. 1880 typeface Royal Grotesk Light from the Berlin foundry Ferdinand Theinhardt Schriftgiesserei[3], designed by Ferdinand Theinhardt for the scientific publications of the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin. FTS also supplied the regular, medium and bold weights of the typeface. While Hermann Berthold took over Theinhardt's Berlin foundry in 1908, it wasn't until the fall of the Prussian monarchy in 1918 that Royal Grotesk was published as part of the Akzidenz-Grotesk font family and renamed Akzidenz-Grotesk Condensed.[4]

Contemporary versions of Akzidenz-Grotesk descend from a late-1950s project, directed by Günter Gerhard Lange at Berthold, to enlarge the typeface family, adding a larger character set, but retaining all of the idiosyncrasies of the 1898 face. Under the direction of Günter Gerhard Lange, he had designed 33 font styles to the Akzidenz-Grotesk family, including AG Extra (1958), AG Extra Bold (1966) and AG Super (1968), AG Super Italic (2001) and Extra Bold italic (2001).[5]

In May 2006, Berthold announced the release of Akzidenz-Grotesk in OpenType format, under the name Akzidenz-Grotesk Pro. The Pro family offers extended language support for Central European, Baltic and Turkish as well as Welsh, archaic Danish and Esperanto and is available in CFF PostScript OpenType. Berthold also released Akzidenz-Grotesk Standard, which includes glyphs of Western European character set, in both PostScript and TrueType flavored OpenType.[6]

In May 2007 Berthold announced the release of Akzidenz-Grotesk Pro+, which includes Cyrillic and Greek characters.[7]

Type posters from typographicposters.com

The site typographicposters.com has a wide variety of typographic posters funnily enough, this is a great source for inspiration and research on typographic posters.

here are a few of my favourites picked from the site;

By:Adam Towle,
These posters catch my interest because the designer overlays the coloured type of the names of the months over black and white photography.




By:Alex Camacho
These poster prints caught my attention because of the way the type is displayed in both positive and cut-out negative over the spade Symbol, It seems theses posters were created by a lino print or something similar.




By:ff3300
The poster appeals to me because it contains an image of settable letter blocks. this poster also contains directly design related elements such as the registration marks round the edge and the fact the text used is a Hex code.




By:John Beckers
The poster uses the Shadow off a cardboard cut-out to show the text "my fears" and some Ivy leaf decoration implying that it could be a shadow of a tombstone. Also shadows link in with the whole scary horror theme.




By:Denis Kuchta
This poster cleverly uses a modified road sign to show a dug grave implying that if YOU drink drive you will end up in the grave. The simplicity of the whole poster makes it aesthetically pleasing.
