GT Walsheim
An austere, museum-grade archival specimen presented on deep pitch black. Pure monochrome typography and tight column widths let vintage Swiss lithographic posters and geometric letterforms act as the sole visual color. The atmosphere is scholarly, disciplined, and reverent of 20th-century poster history.
