letters and love

Mitsuo Katsui

This is an image poster of the style of type for Morisawa & Company Ltd. that is manufacturer of font. In this poster, the character of “HANA( はな)” of the hiragana is used as a motif, and this is a meaning of flower. And, it was designed like looking like the image of a concrete flower. Therefore, the act of presenting the flower and the flower was expressed in the poster of "letters and love". I use the red that I imaged from the pizazz of the flower for this poster.
