2743 Introduction to Typeface Design, Fall 2025

I came across this typeface while looking through an archive of posters by Mihajlo Arsovski, Macedonian-born Croatian designer from the 1960s. At that point, after years of relying almost exclusively on Times New Roman, I wanted to try to like this typeface, especially because I was inspired by Mihajlo's use of multiple different fonts within a single poster. While the initial excitement faded and working with it became difficult, I actually did ended up using it in my final review, as signage in a room, part of a set of props that come to life while trying not to wake up the human present.
