Description
First let me say that the categories here on DeviantArt in no way accomodate typophiles. We're forced to put our work where it doesn't belong but is at best somewhat relevant. There. Now that's out of the way.This is an educational poster (19x13) that is driven by a concept. It's meant for print so I'm not sure how it looks on the web. Two color.
Typefaces:
Chaparral Pro
Univers
Enjoy.

This is so awesome. i wish I could make out the smaller print, though. I bet it's incredible printed.

The small text is a bit hard to read, can you upload it larger? I'd love to have this as a wallpaper.

This is gorgeous and witty, and just generally wonderful. I love that red too.

Will you be making this available as a print? I love the 'murder story' idea, with a bit of humour, and all the nuances of type pointed out.

Your work reminds me of the book: What is typography? from David Jury. Although there is no connection between the two. Absolutely love it.

I agree Deviant art could really use a better category for type, font design, calligraphy etc.

very nice.... it's good to see type handled with style... and to think, we used to have to depend on the California Job Case... and wait... and have resets... and mark-ups... in such detail... I had a friend who owned a shop & he was rich... now... he's a poor cartoonist & painter

Nice to see typography on dA, it's rare. And nice poster, there's a lot of information!

Why did you use an ffi (ffi) ligature? though it's one that is less used than other's, but it's not one of my favorites, I like æ more.
But do you really know this much about Typography? 'Cuz that's so cool.

Congratz on your DD~ Wonderful use of space and type. I myself have come to love typography for what it is, though I can't remember the terms to save the life of me. This. I will definitely use as reference for that.

I'm sure it'll work great as an educational poster. Those damn students always want some action
Awesome concept!
