An event poster built on a visible grid, mixing bold black condensed type ("Kenji Takimi," "Kito Jempere") with a hand-drawn line illustration of Mount Fuji on a solid red panel, Japanese katakana in a boxed outline, and scattered white circles as graphic accents.

Movement
Grid-locked rationalism in the Swiss lineage — objective type, mathematical division, and restraint held as a position rather than an absence.
Typography
Blending multiple fonts and fragmented arrangements to create instant visual energy and mimic physical zines.
Palette & Light
High-saturation, unexpected hues injecting playful personality and warmth into clean geometric spaces.
Layout
Visible column structure and strict modular division, where the grid is left exposed as the composition rather than concealed as a scaffold.
Irregular, off-balance column breaks and floating elements mimicking imperfect physical zines.
Treatment
Vector-clean, unmediated surface — flat fills, crisp edges, and even light, with no grain, halation, dust, or process residue anywhere in the image.
Medium
Single-surface display work built to be read at distance — bills, gig posters, and out-of-home placements.
Subject
Lettering carrying the image alone, with no photographic or illustrative subject beneath it.
Ranked by how many traits each reference has in common with this one — computed from the image, never from who is looking at it.
