it would be nicer to set the poster in a font which is not part of the content
- like those lame tshirts that say helvetica set in times?neue75_bold
- hahah NO not like this..moamoa

I don't like it. Everyone now just use fonts names to make dumb posters. Some are clever, I don't think this is the case

I like their work, though I agree w/ moamoa about this poster.

I can't help thinking things like this are just an excuse to do a nice type poster, but then I think wtf is wrong with that, this is a really nice one too.

can someone shed some light on me here? Forgive my ignorance. It's a bunch of font names set in Helvetica bold on a nice grid, yes it's lovely and looks highly conceptual. But what's the clever part? Also, why the two sides? Does that mean you need to buy 2 and hang them side by side?
- thats the trick, you need to buy 2moamoa
- its not exactly clever but I think its beautiful - what else does it need to be? Its really wall art after allavolve
- I think it's clever play with language and association but depends on what your standards are...neue75_bold
- I think it looks great, but it the actual content makes no fucking sense to meplay

makes perfect sense to me, but then again I am marginally conversational in French. Un peu.

I reckon it's a bit more phonetic than simply french...

Sane Six, are you and Wig on some sort of graphic design ephemera commission?
Nice that though :D

Thanks everyone for your comment. it's cool to have feedback on the work we do :-)
I think anyway i need to give you some explanation on this project.
First thing is that we wanted to do it because for once we are did something personal and not for a client...
Since we are using thoses fonts every day in our work and trying to use them in a clever way, for once we wanted to make fun of them... This poster is called "grotesque" because trying to translate in french the name of a type is completly stupid... it's a nonsense.
also french people thinking they are more clever than the other, we could have done that. And we did it.. ;-)
So we wanted to make fun of the type and of ourselves.Trying to explain it in english but not sure I made it... :-)
