Bauhaus posters: primary shapes, exhibition and type spiral

Bauhaus posters — a large red circle overlapped by a blue triangle, a yellow bar crossing both and a single black diagonal cutting the corner, a flat hard-edged geometric composition, exact shapes with no outlines, no shading and no gradients

Reading 3Type spiral

Primary shapes on off-white: a red circle, a blue triangle, a yellow bar; an exhibition-poster grid with a number and date; a spiral of type. These nine cross those three subjects with a strict primary palette, a constructivist grid layout and a bold diagonal composition — the print for the architect's hallway.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each poster is drawn at A3 proportions with an even margin, so it prints clean at A3 or scales to A4.
Can the exhibition poster show a specific date or number?
Yes — type the date or number in the direction field and it is set exactly in the composition.
Is there any text besides numbers?
The spiral design carries type as its subject; the shape-based designs carry little to no lettering.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
