Library Research - Typography 2

Source: HELLER, S. and ANDERSON, G. 2010. New Ornamental Type: Decorative Lettering in the Digital Age. New York: Thames & Hudson. 

In the same book of The Puty Tree (read my Typography 1 Post), I found this picture. Made with roman letters, its name is The Slip. It was made by Nate Duval using hand lettering as primary font. According to the designer, the picture reflects the layering and Cubist mannerisms of the 1920s and 1930s. 
 
With all the letters and colors, I think that the picture is aggressive, loud, witty and bold. It is also trendy and energetic.
