Some fun lettering by Grand Army. Here’s how they describe it:
Theo van Doesberg inspired typographic treatment for Nike SB. Letter construction: stair sets, rails and ramps.
Wasn’t Theo van Doesburg on Vision?

Van DoesbUrg,dutch artist from the 1920’s.Formed De Stijl (the White Stripes album is named after that movement).Enjoyed generation with Mondrian (paintings) and Rietveld (furniture).
I think architects refer to such a drawing as an ‘axonometry’

close. axonometric or axon…. three dimensional drawing without perspective…so all sides are drawn to scale sans vanishing points.
reminds me of old bauhaus drawings (not the band, the art school) drawn by walter gropius.

Kilwag you are astonishing ! What an great audience !
If you like this kinda “style” check other graphists from Belgium, France & Netherlands : the “ligne claire” followers.
