Entry Description

This poster is created while exploring a new order of typography, fusing architectural motifs and letters. The Modern typography has a result of its extreme pursuit of functionality. As the sensibilities disappear, the design becomes the same without individuality. This is the opposite of the modern values that aim for diversity, and based on this problem, visual expression that allows sensibilities and reason to coexist is the goal. Soviet Modernist architecture is steadily disappearing with the dismantling of the Soviet Union. Aside from politics, it has a meaning to be recorded as a symbol.
