Design Curator Tries Talking To Eva Mendes
“The Calvin Klein letter design came about in the early 70′s Mrs. Mendes. What you’re admiring there is the Futura™ Book font designed by Paul Renner in 1932. You’ll notice it’s, um, a Sans Linear Geometric font which means it’s, um, basically good for logos but not quite as effective as text.”
“What else? What else?”
“Attributes! The attributes are credited to the late-20′s German Bauhaus school of design, implying bold and symmetrical shapes. Not to be confused with the Peter Murphy fronted English goth band of the same name. We get that a lot.”
“Aaaaaaaand… let’s see.”
“It’s a very masculine font. Not like- like, uh”
“…she’s looking at her own ass isn’t she?”
