This is a letterpress typographic sins poster by Jim Godfrey. Lets let Underconsideration.com explain the reason behind this poster...
'Jim Godfrey is a typography teacher. Jim Godfrey is often irritated by the typographic sins of students who join his class semester after semester. Jim Godfrey decided to do something about it and, after consulting with his colleague Patrick Wilkey, a list of 34 unprofessional ways to set type was drafted. It took three years from beginning to the final letterpressed poster run of 38—not enough paper to account for print ready made this first impression a short one. A second one will likely happen when all existing copies are sold.'
However, ironically, a few of the points made are a little difficult to work out as almost every image I have looked at has either been poorly photographed or has not been too clear. In order to work out what was what I had to download the PDF from the web site to be able to read it through. If you want to download the PDF, buy the poster or view a list of all 34 typed out points then click here.
