Ackidenz-Grotesk Typographic Poster
A typographic poster showing off the typeface Ackidenz-Grotesk from the Berthold Type Foundry! 
Ackidenz-Grotesk is a modern sans-serif font created in 1898. It was primarily created for commercial use on things like show tickets and ads. One could argue that many typefaces people encounter and use now, are loosely based on Ackidenz and other sans serif fonts of the times. 
The typeface really took off post-war in Swiss International Design, so this isometric poster is a tribute to that. The simple bright color palette, grid design, and no nonsense approach that I took are all references to the fun geometry and bold look of Swiss designs in the 50's with a modern twist.
~Enjoy!~
