A veritable gamut of typographical concepts awaits the visitor, from perfectly spaced typeface to a complete disregard of all typographical tenets. The spectrum ranges from revitalized typewriter scripts, to spidery handwriting, to experimental approaches, for example incorporating artificial intelligence into the design process. In their design and layout, the scripts recall the Concrete Poetry of the Vienna Group: letters no longer signify; they are experienced as images. Against all expectations, this year there is a noticeable dearth of politically motivated entries.

A cooperation between the MAK and the association 100 Beste Plakate e. V.
