Near-abstract, angular characters such as the ‘A’, ‘E’ and ‘N’ hint at cubism’s jagged and clashing planes. Posterama 1913 pays homage to the Armory Show, or 1913 Exhibition of Modern Art, which brought the revolutionary work of European artists such as Picasso, Duchamp and Kandinsky to the US for the first time to the shock and astonishment of press and public. Letterforms such as the slender, snaking ‘S’, the high-waisted ‘E’ and the underlined ‘O’ revive the spirit of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the designers of the Viennese Secession.
Posterama 1901 recalls the decoratively geometric style of Art Nouveau from the turn of the 20th century. Note: all the other Posterama variants described below do not have lowercase letters or Greek and Cyrillic support. It has the most robust character set including upper and lowercase glyphs and pan-European language support (including Greek and Cyrillic).
