Overview

SUBTRACTION vs ADDITION

Carl Dair, a Canadian designer, established key principles exploring typography's relationship to design in his book Design with Type. He identified seven essential contrasts: size, weight, form, structure, direction, texture, and colour.

Using these contrasts, I created a visual poster defining the concepts of “subtraction” and “addition” with the Futura PT typeface, aiming to convey meaning through typographic contrast.
