Archive11 Call for Submissions

Bud Rodecker · 2011 · Offset lithograph

A poster promoting the Society of Typographic Arts Archive11 competition, which invited designers to measure up to the work already held in the Chicago Design Archive. "Measure up" is drawn as outlined letterforms stretched to full poster height, so tall the strokes read first as a field of hairlines and only resolve into words once you step back. Set in Albright Sans by Okay Type of Chicago.
