Poster by Gabor Papp, for an exhibition of the Papp-group, where Hungary's most important graphic artists belonged.

Gábor Papp intended to process every important field of applied graphics with this exhibition series. This one focuses on typography: all the members were making designs focusing on the letters. Gábor Papp did so with this poster as well: despite that is is black-and white and typographical, it is highly artistic.

The title Kalligráfia is written in the middle with calligraphic writing. Below  it with a more moder typeface the subtitle, and typography and at the bottom the address and the venue can be seen.
