type mailer

My pursuit for this mailer was to demonstrate a balance of the high legibility and striking beauty of the typeface, Frutiger—also to tempt the viewer to adore this font as much as I do.

The black and yellow color pallet are direct references to Adrian Frutiger’s original airport signage that initially displayed the font. Additionally the Frutiger arrow was first added to signage in a Paris airport to assist air travelers with quick directions to destinations. I've incorporated the arrow to reference the runway as well as the disorienting experience of walking through an airport.
