Hermann Eidenbenz - grafa international poster 1936
Beautiful poster from Swiss designer Hermann Eidenbenz. Hermann also designed the Clarendon typeface. Brings back memories of delivering newspapers as a kid.

I’m sure you know, but just so nobody gets the wrong idea: Eidenbenz designed a version of Clarendon for metal-type for Haas’sche Schriftgiesserei (and thus later Stempel -> Linotype).

This is a timeless design. It really could have been created today. Clean, modern with touches of vintage. It’s great!

Maybe you already know it but I find it worth mentioning that he also designed bank notes for Switzerland and Germany.
