Zur-En-Arrh Transmission - OOOOOOO poem


This is "O" poem. It has a lot of letters "O" because i thought it was a good idea (not really, not even in the slightest). I guess it is one of the first instances when i justified writing a particular piece by saying "Because The Beatles "Because".

The poem was written in 2014 in fit of creativity. Believe it or not - it actually has a couple of drafts. Seriously. I was trying out a sequence of various fonts and also different sizes of the letters. But in the end - it wasn't working. The gimmickery was killing it dead. And then i just pressed "reset" button and that was the it. The poem looked right.

As it is - it is absolutely ridiculous blare of none. It goes nowhere. As a typographic piece it is too straightforward and unassuming. But sheer quantity of letters "O" is intimidating and if you look long enough and close enough - it is legitimately crushing.
