14 Typography Posters You Will Love

Anna — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 00:44:15 +0000

As I scoured the net for new typography posters and typography treatments, I realized it doesn’t take much to identify an effective typography poster or treatment versus a bad one. There were hundreds of examples and anyone could have easily selected those with awesome typography treatments mixed with nice illustrations and color however I had to stick with one discriminating factor in my selections: Readability. What good is typography if you can’t extend your message so artistically designed to your readers within the first 10 seconds of eye-contact? With that in mind, here are some effective and inspiring examples of typography posters and treatments.
