Typography Trends during the 60's!: The Pop Art Trend

Pop art is an art movement that began in the 1950s but it was popularized in the 1960s by well known New York artists, such as Andy Warhol, one of the most well known artist of this movement. Most of us have probably seen his popular Campbell’s Soup Cans piece floating around on the internet. Pop art was created to challenge traditional art by showcasing popular culture and everyday items. “Pop art has become one of the most recognizable styles of modern art.” (“The Art Story,” n.d.)

Pop art is still a very popular art style up to this very day. It influenced typography with its fun, bright and eye catching colours that draws your attention. Typefaces inspired from pop art had comic like designs that gives off a “fun” feeling, and was mainly used as a title font for posters and album covers.
