Drag Gig Posters
Soft Type · Kyle Letendre
A series of hand-lettered drag show posters by Kyle Letendre, made for short-lived street promotion with an intentionally excessive and unconstrained visual energy.
About
Created for drag events with collaborators including One-Half NelSon, XO Skeleton and Ry Bred, the posters treat the telephone-pole format as licence to abandon restraint entirely. The lettering is expressive and illustrative, suited to a medium where impact matters more than longevity. Each piece is designed with full awareness that it will be forgotten almost immediately after the show.
Classification
Hand-lettered display work created for drag show promotional posters. The work is characterised by expressive, unconstrained lettering rather than a systematic typeface design.
