Typewalk 1915 in use for poster, flyers and program leaflets for the Sign Week Vienna. Big hooray to Sven Fuchs at Typocalypse for supporting this event! See also the previous post about the website.

Sign Week Vienna is a festival celebrating Vienna’s rich heritage of urban type. It features different lettering walks, sign painting workshops, films, exhibitions and even an award for Vienna’s most beautiful shop front.

The website was designed by Tom Koch, who also organises the event together with Achim Gauger. The font in use is Typewalk 1915 by German type designer Sven Fuchs. Released in 2015 by Typocalypse type foundry this “vintage grotesk” is an homage to European sign painting and lettering traditions of the early 20th century.
