Graphic artist Anthony Burrill recently revealed a giant typographic mural in Leeds, and now a documentary short about the artwork delves into the ideas behind the piece and its meaning to the designer. You&Me and Me&You sees Burrill’s signature letterpress typography blown up to epic proportions, covering one side of the 88-ft-high, seven-storey canal-side building, The Calls, in Leeds city centre. Impactful in white on black, the piece embodies Burrill’s mission to “say the most with the least, and connect with people through words” on a monumental scale, and speaks to the importance of human connection during the pandemic.
