Posters typography
Posters where the text is the subject: standalone words, quotes, and letter compositions, with no image behind them.
Choosing the right poster
A typographic poster is chosen first for what it says, and that's what makes it hard to get right: the word is read before it is seen, and it stays legible for years. A sentence that amuses at first glance can grow heavy after the hundredth.
Technically, this is the most demanding style to print. A flat expanse of black letters on white reveals the smallest halftone flaw, where a photograph would hide it. Our satin anti glare paper keeps edges crisp without the halo that overly glossy paper gives, and the eco solvent inks hold a deep black without turning it grey.
These posters pair well with images: a composition of letters in the middle of a wall of photographs lets the whole arrangement breathe and gives the eye a place to rest. The composer shows the result to scale before you order.
