Don’t Mess with it

We’ve all seen it. The layout with 8 different typefaces, including both comic sans AND papyrus. But worse yet, with one of them stretch across the page to fill a space. Hardly legibly, and certainly not beautiful, this is type bastardization. Messy Design decided to tackle design’s worst nightmare with this visually startling, entertaining and educational promo piece 


You wouldn’t do it to your face, so why would you do it to a typeface?

Who could say it better?

Messy Design produced a self-promotional piece with the goal of raising awareness about the importance of good typography, by means of a sealed booklet which folds out to reveal four altered images of (their own) faces, that demonstrate basic typography rules in a humorous and engaging way. — FPO
