Feixen branches out from bold posters to typographic animations

It’s been almost two years since we officially checked in with Swiss poster maestro Felix Pfäffli – although of course we’ve been keeping an eye on a few of his side projects and collaborations with his brother Mathis. As ever he’s kept up with the challenging task of delivering poster after glorious poster for Südpol’s cultural events (every one’s a bloody winner) but he’s also branched out into educational activities in LA and started to experiment with moving type. His recent work for Wired shows his usual bold, graphic language translated into flowing organic forms, maintaining that trademark Feixen feel but through a dynamic moving medium.

A vibrant, abstract poster featuring bold geometric shapes in purple, yellow, red and green. Stylised figures and comic-style elements are layered throughout, with large, distorted typography reading “PARTY!!”. Smaller text boxes list a date of “12.4.14” and event details including “Konzert, Party, Disco”.

A graphic poster featuring a white surface with sharp, organic cut-outs that reveal a vibrant green background. The negative space forms abstract, vertical shapes and the word “SUDPOL” in bold white lettering at the bottom right. Small blocks of text are tucked into the green sections, including the date “7.6.14”.
