Original artwork description:

Large bold type spray painted with Montana colours on a collage of encyclopaedia pages glued onto heavy stock. Background colours acrylic.

Helvetica is a widely used sans-serif typeface developed in 1957 by Swiss typeface designer Max Miedinger with input from Eduard Hoffmann. It is a neo-grotesque or realist design, one influenced by the famous 19th century typeface Akzidenz-Grotesk and other German and Swiss designs. Notable features of Helvetica as originally designed include the termination of all strokes on horizontal or vertical lines and unusually tight letter spacing, which give it a dense, compact appearance.

Materials used:

spray-paint, acrylic, pencil, marker, hand cut stencils, encyclopedia pages.
