Illustration by powerhouse Roberlan Paresqui, making good use of Libido. This typeface is based on the work of Wes Wilson, and much like Wilson’s own lettering treatments, is made to be abused through warping. This aids Roberlan’s psychedelic look more than it hurts legibility. In Wilson’s own words: they’ll stop to read it because they can’t read it.
In this illustration, the outer text (reading “Life is all about balance”) forms three dimensional walls pointing the viewer towards the center, where text in the shape of a yin-yang symbol reads “Namaste/F*ck Off”.
