Thank F**k For Helvetica-Max Miedinger Typography Poster
Thank F**k For Helvetica-Max Miedinger Typography Poster
So many personal celebratory typographic posters out there for Helvetica, felt the need to create my own celebratory poster, with my own words of wisdom. With a specific mention to Max Miedinger.
The next Helvetica Poster is one that mentions the great man behind the greatest typeface of all time, Eduard Hoffmann.
The main files are on Flickr at around 21cm wide at 304dpi. Should anyone wish a larger version for printing, then just ask. The original file is all vector, so easy enough to scale up in Illustrator. Happy to send you a Illustrator vector file if you would like it.
I am happy to supply the original Illustrator file to anyone who wishes to have it for the purposes of print reproduction only. Please do not alter the contents of the file.
Sometimes using expletives is just the right thing to do. Let’s not beat around the bush.

I can’t say I’m a fan of the slashes at the end of the lines in the smaller type.. it gets a little icky in my opinion.
I’d probably be more-so inclined to buy a poster print with out them, as I feel they add unnecessary clutter.

Hey, love both posters,
i was thinking of making some copies and putting them on campus, would really appreciate if you could send me both .ai files.
Thank you very much.!
Nice Poster
Smart man Max Miedinger, a unsung genious might have to print one of these myself.
Im sorry but i do not like this poster, for starters, the topic of commending helvetica as some sort of life saver is an incredibly unoriginal idea. And secondly the design seems to be completely ripped off from the “How to be a grapic designer without losing your soul” imagery.
Sorry for being rude, I do really appreciate helvetica and all design, but this doesnt do it for me.
That’s why they call design subjective. :)
