Fontopoly

This poster was made by London based graphic designer, Timba Smits for an exhibition called, "Go Font Yourself." I wanted to do a bit of research on this poster because the way that it was created made it look like an aged boardgame from the 1950's, which is what the artist intended. I think it would be great if a board game like this really existed-I for one would purchase it instantly. The poster was designed for the fictional board game, fontopoly, which is a parody of the popular children's board game that we're all familiar with, Monopoly. With squares like Meta Street, Eurostile Station, and the Palatino Circus, this board game seems like a good representation of the varieties of typefaces that exist and the most popularly used ones like Frutiger.
