Antwerp Poster Festival 2020
Branding by studio ssnn for the second edition of the Antwerp Poster Festival. In collaboration with their type partner Typelab, we could use their vaste amount of experimental fonts. This resulted in the pairing of four fonts throughout the identity: three completely different fonts from Typelab (Serifbabe Alpha, Miu Miu & Slyther) paired with the legible Nuckle by Heavyweight which was part of last year’s identity.
Slyther is used in outlined form throughout the branding as a graphical element. It lends the identity its graphical and exciting vibe. Slyther is designed by Floriane Rousselot, the founder of Typelab.
Serifbabe is used for the logotype as well as to highlight certain parts of the text. It feels as the perfect correlation between a classic serif and an experimental font. Serifbabe is designed by Charlotte Rohde, a speaker at the first edition of the Antwerp Poster Festival.
Miu Miu was the perfect bold type to give an extra punch to our identity. With its extended characters it fills up the space without asking for too much attention. Miu Miu was designed by Flavien Minson, a young up and coming designer. At the Antwerp Poster Festival we love to highlight those that don’t have their own platform just yet.
These three fonts needed just one last thing to make everything click and found that the neutral look of Nuckle by Filip Matějíček (Heavyweight) brings everything together like glue.
