Many of the letters have double functions and work in two separate words. For example, the \u201cP\u201d works in both \u201crip\u201d and \u201cup\u201d and the \u201cA\u201d works in both \u201cstart and again\u201d Similarly, bottom stroke of the \u201cI\u201d in \u201crip\u201d doubles at the top stroke of the \u201cT\u201d in \u201cit.\u201d The double functions work because of the way the words are strategically stacked on each other. Instead of being confusing, though, the design is effective because of the white space and kerning. People can tell that the \u201cP\u201d works with \u201crip\u201d because it is attached to the \u201cI,\u201d but it also works with \u201cup\u201d because of the tight kerning between the \u201cU\u201d and the \u201cP\u201d and the fact that the bottoms of the two letters line up. I also find it interesting how the letters are different sizes and shapes in order to fit together nicely. The white space also clearly separates the words and provides balance, order and a \u201cclean\u201d look. However, the connections between the letters and tight leading and kerning bring the entire design together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The intricate design on this \u201cRip It Up and Start Again\u201d poster relies entirely on typography.
