The Rule

Laut

The page is full. Dozens of letterpress words in whatever type was in the case, letters of different fonts inside one word, words turned every way, all in black, with huge red letters printed underneath.

Brand Guidelines

Typography must be extremely fragmented. Use a completely different font for every single letter in prominent headings. Words must collide, rotate, and print directly over thick black dividing lines and massive red structural letters. Fill all available space.

What breaks it

A Swiss International Style grid completely destroys Dada. Dada was anti-art, anti-structure, and anti-bourgeois. Neatly aligning a single, highly legible sans-serif font along a rigid grid with ample negative space is the exact opposite of the anarchic, claustrophobic noise required by the aesthetic.

Dada Soirée
A very organized, structural evening of poetry and music. Please be seated by 8:00 PM. Silence is expected during the performances.
