People have been creating art with typography for almost as long as the printing press. However, modern typography posters are a fairly recent art form, becoming fully formed concepts only in the early-to-mid 20th century as advertising developed into the discipline we know today. presently, a lot of the most popular styles of typography posters still trace their roots to that era, with the echoes of design movements like Bauhaus and Swiss Style still seen in many of DROOL’s bestselling pieces.
Even in the digital age, we still see a lot of new typography posters being made for advertising purposes, with public transportation stations and pubs often featuring these pieces. However, the medium has long transcended its functionalist roots, and there are now plenty of typography posters that are strictly pieces of art.
DROOL’s typography posters are a consistent bestseller for a few key reasons. Many prints use bold fonts and striking colours and these same qualities may have a positive appeal for many buyers. Other typography poster fans may also love them for their versatility and ability to complement a variety of interior styles. There is also a subset of aficionados who simply love these posters for the messages they contain.
In any case, there’s probably at least one typography poster out there that appeals to you. Browse through DROOL’s current selection of typography posters and try these techniques to make your favourite prints work in your home:
Offer Guests a Unique Welcome
Place typography posters with a welcoming message in your entryway to greet guests with style. This is an especially great use for a poster with a message that directly resonates with you, since it can effectively set the vibe for your home, not just visually but conceptually as well. Of course, you should feel free to display whatever print you feel is right for your entryway.
Make a Bold Statement in Your Living Room
A large, bold typography print can be an excellent statement piece above your sofa or mantle. Like entryway pieces, your choice of design and message can significantly influence the vibe of this commonly used living space.
Make Your Own Fun in the Kitchen
Though these prints aren’t for everyone, posters with motivational quotes or food-related puns in the kitchen can add a touch of fun that delights visitors. They can also help round out your kitchen’s decor and transform it into something more than just a functional space.
Create Bedroom Serenity
If you believe in saying daily affirmations, typographic posters with calming words or inspirational quotes may be just what you need in your bedroom. For the best results, place these prints on the wall in front of your bed so you can ponder the words as you fall asleep.
Use for Heightened Home Office Focus
Workspaces are especially popular places for typography posters, and this is, indeed, a historically accurate use for them. Prints with motivational or productivity-focused themes remain popular for typography posters in these contexts, but ironic quotes that reference the pitfalls of modern life also have their fans. Whichever camp you fall into, make sure your print is somewhere within your desk’s line of sight.
Create Visually Striking and Educational Children’s Rooms
If there are young children in your home, your typography posters can make a serious impact on their developing minds. A high-quality print with educational value in children's rooms can be a great way to combine learning with timeless decor.
Set Up Reading Nooks That Inspire
Almost every school library has at least a few posters extolling the benefits of reading. If you want that familiar vibe in your home, a typographic poster with a message about reading, knowledge, or empathy may be just what you need to round it out. If you have children in your home, the typography poster you set up on your wall may just give them that small nudge that inspires them to be lifelong readers.
Timeless Typographic Poster Galleries
A gallery wall with various typography prints of different sizes and styles not only makes a big impact but is also relatively easy to pull off. Even if the pieces all display different typefaces, groups of typography posters tend to create a thematic unity that doesn’t easily break, even as you add more pieces to the collection.
Before you try this approach, look at some existing typographic poster galleries for inspiration. For a more cohesive collection on your wall, make sure to pay attention to the scale of the different pieces and consider ordering all your DROOL prints with the same frame design.
