It's black, it's white! Brum Design Festival X Design Museum pay tribute to monotype fonts in this #FontSunday extravaganza
From Barbara Kruger through Anthony Burrill to anti-racist graphics or John Anderson's "Think Positive" poster for IBM in the magnificent seventies the recent #FontSunday extravaganza filled the Twitterverse with stunning examples of monotype fonts strictly in Black and White.
Co-curated with Brum Design Festival which returns to the city Birmingham in the summer of 2019, Design Museum's Font Sunday is our favorite way to scroll down Twitter's timeline. Following a selection of this week's black and white dominance. For more follow Design Museum here.

One of my favourites #BlackandWhite 'Abeceda' by the Czech artist Karel Teige and dancer Milča Mayerová from 1926. I used to have all these characters up on the wall in an old studio, I'm yet to find another blank wall big enough. #FontSunday for @DesignMuseum pic.twitter.com/EgJ6H76ZR8
