"The International Typographic Style, also known as the Swiss Style, is a graphic design style developed in Switzerland in the 1950s that emphasizes cleanliness, readability and objectivity," they explain. "Hallmarks of the style are asymmetric layouts, use of a grid, sans-serif typefaces like Akzidenz Grotesk, and flush left, ragged right text."
The likes of Toy Story, The Shining, Vertigo and The Darjeeling Limited have been transformed into these beautiful, minimal Swiss style posters that we just can't get enough of.
