Yanone Kaffeesatz by Jan Gerner
These are fun. I’m attracted to the visual language because it’s very consistent and displays a strong sense of personality. Smart move coordinating with the website as well.
The thing that was annoying me, was to have a blank (white) back as I don’t have a lot of white space on the site. On the other hand, I also didn’t want a perfect coverage of the back in one color as it would go against the “worn out” look I use on the website. Fortunately for me, letterpressing a large area will naturally provide you with an “imperfect coverage”, that was exactly what I was looking for.
Unfortunately, the biggest challenge was to get my hands on the cards (as you may by now suspect from looking at the production time).
This post was published in the original layout of FPO so all images are smaller. Project descriptions as well as production lessons are quoted in the main content area.
