Yaboi Willhibbert
As a student at Leeds College of Art (Leeds, UK), Yaboi Willhibbert designed a hispster communist propaganda Helvetica spoof typeface, Lawless (2017). She was influenced by Paula Scher's view on Helvetica in 2007: I viewed the big corporations that were slathered in Helvetica as sponsors of the Vietnam War. Yaboi writes: I researched into Vietnam War posters to understand the communist designs which were similar to Soviet Russian posters. So when breaking the perception, I incorporated key characteristics from communist Vietnamese and Soviet Russian type with Helvetica. |
