Swiss graphic designer Felix Pfäffli, also known as Feixen, knows exactly what he's doing when it comes to making great posters.

In 1984 he was posthumously awarded the TDC Medal, the award from the Type Directors Club presented to those “who have made significant contributions to the life, art, and craft of typography”.
