Reichel & Uchihashi

Concert poster

With its unusual lettering, the concert poster “Hans Reichel & Kazuhisa Uchihashi” arouses the viewer’s curiosity since it cannot be deciphered at first glance. It uses the “FF Stock” font designed by typographer, musician and instrument inventor Hans Reichel. The characters are based on the elegant shapes of the wooden blades in the “Daxophone”, an instrument he developed. A translation of the concert announcement in the bottom corner of the poster reveals the answer to the riddle.
