VirusFonts: Newspeak Font Poster

2001

London

Promotional poster for the VirusFonts typeface release Newspeak. A name taken from the novel 1984 by George Orwell and refers to a language invented so that people cannot express themselves outside the politics of those in power. The inside featured a pre-Iraq war Tony Blair, at the time a person pretending to be a socialist ‘man of the people’ but later found out to be very much the opposite.
