D/Takhantouwa

poster design, 2006

D/akhantouwa was a collaboration with Wael Morcos, to promote awareness of smoking disadvantages. The poster is a typographic treatment of a slang word that communicates two different meanings just by adding two diacritic dots over the first letter. The two words are Dakhantuwa, literally meaning you smoked it, and Takhantuwa, meaning you crossed the limit.
