Yes! HelloVon as new great website and Yes! it was designed by the talented Darren Firth and Yes! they also made a gorgeous mailer…
An A2 (Fold to A5) promotional mailer. The typography, colours and paper stock were picked to convey the delicate and ethereal quality found in his work.
Four special colours printed on 148gsm Mowhawk Superfine White Eggshell, die-cut to shape, with the trimmed area forming a seperate mini-print. Both elements were editioned and hand signed by the artist.
Helvetica Forever is a project of the University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf.
Curated by Lars Müller, Victor Malsy and Philipp Teufel.
Osaka and Tokyo in Japan were the first venues of the exhibition tour in cooperation with DNP.
The next stations will be Sofia (Bulgaria) and Düsseldorf (Germany).
From the early days in 1957 until now ‘Helvetica forever’ presents a wide range of works which prove the intrinsic qualities of Helvetica.
The exhibition comprises about 100 items like advertisments and posters but also includes promotional leaflets from the very beginning as well as documents highlightening Helvetica’s history of origin.
