Weltformat (2022)

Poster for Weltformat festival, 8-18 October 2022, Luzern, Switzerland, themed ‘Never Not Moving’. While this three-line type poster scrolls down relentlessly, coloured circles appear to ‘grab’ the hard edges of the letterforms and stretch them diagonally across the poster surface like gum. The basic layout of the poster is by Erich Brechbühl, Felix Pfäffli and Josh Schaub. They handed it to seven international designers and studios to make it move. The font used is Ruder Plakat by Lineto.
