The poster’s objective is to pay our personal tribute to the Helvetica Typeface on its 60 anniversary. We wanted to represent the values of this typography designing an exclusively typographic poster in a very visual, simple and direct way and with a clear Swiss style.

We decided to work only with two basic elements, the red colour and the “H” letter (the initial of Helvetica and Husmee), creating a hollow shape with the form of the plus-sign which at the same time creates the Swiss flag.
