Unfun’s sleek typographic posters for German gallery Kunstverein Nürnberg

Date
3 March 2016

It’s easy to tell a studio is creating great work when its clients are constantly coming back for repeat business. Take Nuremberg-based Unfun, whose portfolio is brimming with long-term and ongoing projects for its clients ranging from posters for EDM club nights, to type design for a magazine. One of its most recent projects sees the studio adopting a sleek and sophisticated aesthetic for it’s work for Kunstverein Nürnberg: Albrecht Dürer Gesellschaft, Germany’s oldest art association set up in 1792. 

Creating posters, invitations and publications for the gallery, the work is for different exhibitions on show but there’s a subtle identity throughout Unfun’s designs. An uncomplicated sans serif type with rounded corners is used throughout to ensure easy communication and uncluttered layouts provide freshness and clarity. Relying just on the exhibition information is a bold move, but a focus on the words offers a different interpretation of what’s normally such a visual experience.
