x / u / Poster

“Selling someone an x for a u” is German for pulling the wool over someone's eyes. The two letters themselves can’t help it – typefaces can't distinguish between fact and fiction, between story and history. But the truth is: there is no truth. Because like typefaces, history is refashioned by time. And today’s story could well be tomorrow’s history. This is a poster for display the works from the “100 best typefaces” course at Düsseldorf University of applied sciences.
