According to popular belief, dogs are often very similar to their owners. And here are the artists from the Austrian design studio Grafisches Buro believe that not only on the owners, but also on popular typographic fonts. To prove this - Dog as Fonts poster series.
In recent years, letters have become works of art in themselves. After all, it turned out that you can not only add texts from them, but also turn them into something no less beautiful than paintings and sculptures. As proof of this - an alphabet from books by Sonia Lamera (Sonia Lamera) or text maps of the city by Mark Andrew Webber (Mark Andrew Webber). A different story is the Dog as Fonts poster series from Grafisches Buro, exploring not the letters themselves, but the fonts.
In a series of works titled Dog as Fonts, the artists from Grafisches Buro tried to find analogies between dogs and existing typographic fonts. Both visual and mental.
For example, the Shepherd Dog, according to the authors of Dog as Fonts, is similar to the Helvetica font, the Doberman to the Courier, the English Bulldog to the Times, the Scottish Terrier to Univers, the Bull Terrier to Bodoni, etc.
It is difficult to say what parameters the British designers were guided by. They themselves claim a whole host of factors, including not only visual and mental similarities between dogs and fonts, but also historical as well as cultural overlaps.
The Dog as Fonts series by Grafisches Buro were silk-screened in limited editions on posters measuring 100cm x 70cm.
