The design for the 2019 edition of the Dublin Fringe Festival combined a multitude of disparate influences into a campaign that was playful and inventive, theatrical, and textured with the topic “superweirdos”. It utilised three artists taking part in the festival as representatives of the breadth of talent that makes up Fringe. The artists were styled in structured, contemporary garments and set against recognisable (but not cliché) locations from Dublin’s built environment.

Irish design studio Nugno selected Cosi Times from Nikolas Type as the main typeface, used for headlines. Supporting copy is set in GT America and GT Sectra from Grilli Type for the festival’s visual identity and magazine.
