Cover of the May 6, 2013 Vampire Weekend release, designed by members of the band. The two typefaces are also used in the lyrics video for Step.
What kind of Futura is that? The w and the v seem to be broader than Futura Condensed Bold, and the original futura has the tapered lower sides..
This is simply Futura Bold, one of the many foundry versions available: either Linotype, URW, or Neufville.
I was just wondering if i could print one of these prints as a poster?
Hi Emma, it depends on the purpose, I guess. Anyway, you’d need to direct that question to Vampire Weekend.
A Mitski album, released two years later.
