The Gotham epidemic has long hit Istanbul, and this is probably the best example to document it.

I’m sure the people at the Communist Party of Turkey would feel a little uncomfortable had they been told that the typeface that they use on their posters is strongly American, spawned from the letterings in New York City to celebrate the American vernacular, and used by Barack Obama so consistently – in his campaign (below) and in Office – that it is known as the “Obama font” by laypeople.

Well, at least they agree on the “change” part of it.

After dealing with a variety of students from different classes such as Project Studio, Web Design and Interaction Design last week, I took some time to put together an introductory practical guide to typography. This is mainly intended for “amateur” designers or design students, but I also hope that it will at least have a consciousness raising effect on lay people who stumble upon it – thus the title “Typography Is Important”.
