Originally created by Zuzana Licko in 1985, Modula was her first high-resolution digital type-face designed on a Macintosh computer. Her goal was to work within the restrictions of what a computer could produce rather than push against those limitations in an attempt to replicate traditional type styles. The results were some of the finest and most famous digital typefaces of their time that changed the face of the industry. This poster, produced ten years later, revisits Modula, adding new variations to the original design to create an “extended remix.” The glass-beer-bottle motif first appeared in Rudy VanderLans’s 1991 poster for the release of the hip-hop band Basehead’s album Play With Toys, put out by Emigre Music. The album cover also featured the original version of Modula.
