Loud Typography

"Making type speak" or Loud Typography is one of the oldest commercial posters. A posters purpose is to draw attention by screaming a message.

Aleksander Rodchenko's 1925 advertisment saying "Books in all branches of knowledge"
Its one of the most famous expamples of loud Typography beacuase of the triangular megaphone concept and the way the words shoot out to send the message.


WW2 had many examples when the allies won ww2 messages such as "VJ Day" or "WAR OVER" were screamed across pages in any language and typeface.
