Gig Poster for BONOBO’s LA shows.
4 Color, Edition of 75, designed and screenprinted by myself and my amazing friend Eric Pieper. Best thing I have had the pleasure to work on in a long time!
The best design is one that doesn’t look designed. This flawless type specimen shows all the elegant qualities of Centaur and little else, leaving the eye to explore every serif and ligature without interruption.
“The purpose of the poster is to showcase beautiful historic typefaces. Designed by Jim Williams, an award winning typographer and graphic designer who has a lifelong passion for the craft of typography and letterforms. He also has a keen interest and understanding of letterpress printing. Jim’s knowledge of typography and attention to detail is second to none. Constantly ‘tweaking’ his work until it is just perfect, kerning here, letterspacing there, a real perfectionist.”
