25. Poesiefestival Berlin
Berlin’s Poesiefestival 2024 took place from July 4th to July 21st, 2024, at silent green Kulturquartier in Berlin-Wedding, as well as other secondary locations throughout the city. AG Grafik (Philip Jursch and Lennart Lofink) created the visual identity for the festival’s organizer Haus für Poesie, typeset in HAL Timezone by HAL Typefaces.
Concept text by the designers:
In the design of the 25th anniversary edition of the poesiefestival berlin, the AG Grafik focused on the essentials: A classic Antiqua font combined with hand-drawn lines, punched dots and typesetting errors are reminiscent of the manual process of writing. The color space is as reduced as possible: black text on a white background stands for the relevance of the written word. The visual concept is irritating, not always legible and explores the possibilities of presenting poetry through design.
