Boris Black

Client: School project
When: 2006

I was assigned to design a typeface, from a word I wouldn't understand — kölskulegur — I had to interpet it and find a way to make my font look kölskulegur.

I'm not going into the whole process, but I ended on Boris Yeltsin, I think he is pretty kölskulegur...

The forms that make up everything is drawn from Yeltsin's face and hands.

The first two posters are of an icelandic pangram.
Kæmi ný öxi hér ykist þjófum nú bæði víl og ádrepa.
Translation: If a new axe were here, thieves would feel increasing deterrence and punishment.

The last poster is my submition to the Breakbeat.is Posterproject.
