This is the work of OK-RM, a London based design studio. The style reminds me a lot of Sulki and Min and maybe a little bit of Qubik. I enjoy this style; where type is placed all over the page, in a seemingly gridless manner, while still maintaining a sense of balance and proper hierarchy. To me it shows a kind of fearlessness, and a clear love of letterform.

Is that first poster solvable? I’ve managed to decode ‘UNLESS AN I___T DIES HE ILLW NOT BE ____D’, but I’m pretty sure ILLW was intended to have been WILL. Maybe there is no perfect solution, and the viewer is left forever wondering.
This is the answer to the puzzle, from the first poster, that I came up with: “Unless an idiot dies he will not be cured.”
Ah—good job figuring out that the second object was a radio. I couldn’t escape the idea that it was a Scantron test card [shudder].
