These are some sketches for some posters I am preparing for the "anatomy of letters" part of the Museum. I have taken the German words for specific parts of a letters and shown a litteral interpretation. It should be funny and entertaining, helping the public to relate to the words and to remember them better. So here a short German lesson in perverted typography (not that the English terms for some letter parts would not be interesting enough … crotch, lobe, and tittle come to mind):
Punze = hallmark (counter)
Schwanz = penis/tail (tail)
Auslauf = leakage (finial)
Abstrich = smear test (down-stroke)
Inktrap = inktrap
There are some more coming, in the making. I am planning to make them look a little like Pop-art. In any case, they will be vectorized. Enjoy.
