We know that we're not alone when we say we love typography, so we doubt we'll be alone when we say that we love this poster.
Graphic designer Michael Ciancio came up with the design after spending a year in Europe, and all we can say is: so do we. The timing of the release makes it the perfect holiday gift for the typography nut in your life.
A 24.5"x37" silkscreened version of the English Language poster is currently available for $30 (+ $5 S&H) on Ciancio's website.

This is the type of art that's made for exchanging with your neighbors...

who *doesn't* have a typography nut in her life?
You AT bloggers really like your ugly, unoriginal, and uninspiring posters. I'm going to start counting how many articles per week have to do with posters. Try posting about art once in a while.
posters can be art. Many posters i know (and own a few) are made by artists of great scale. If you are interested - check especially polish poster art, Olbinski for example. It's a poetry, not just posters.
I dig it. It's funny.

as someone whose post graduate work was in -- in broad terms -- art history, I don't see how this wouldn't qualify as art.
That said, it is a one-joke poster, but it's a good one, and well executed.
I once had the pleasure of having drinks with friends and with typographer Matthew Carter. During the evening Mr. Carter commented that the "true value of a font comes from the more humble letters - the 'h's and the 'n's - not the seductive, flamboyant characters".
Give me a good Helvetica any day.
As a designer, I wholeheartedly disagree with the criticism [though accept that you don't have to like this, or any, poster]. Choosing to live with design you like is just like choosing to live with art you like. Anyhoodle, yes, this is a brilliantly executed one-liner. I love it!
I don't love it. But I do love the English language.
