Original typographic alphabet thought and designed by James Thompson.

A unique Alphabetical poster based on Modern Art

Breathe the feel of avant garde and futuristic design in this Neoplasticism hit (De Stijl kind) with traits for Cubism lovers. Every rune-like letters resounds with a metallic echo.

The paper is high quality Materica Gesso (by Fedrigoni). The letters are EMBOSSED (marked by pressure), so the poster has a three-dimensionality that adds to the whole thing: it changes under light, morphs and captivates even more.

You can see how the poster was made on the images and video.

Meaning "The Style" in Dutch, this artistic movement - which englobed artists such as Theo van Doesburg, Piet Mondrian, J. J. P. Oud and Gerrit Rietveld, in between others - sought the integration of all arts into each of their creations, searching for a uniformity in all areas of expression from design to painting and architecture.
