DescriptionAs one of its founders, Neville Brody frequently contributed to FUSE. This is the first type specimen poster he created for the publication. While the majority of the typefaces released by FUSE are not traditionally readable, State retains enough visual information from the Latin alphabet to provide legibility. It is presented only in upper- case, and Brody has given equal importance to the shape of each letter and its corresponding negative space. The entire alphabet and number system are presented in the lower-right corner, while the text across the middle of the poster reads “Fuse a line through chaos of communication.”On View
