What do other people say about the Typographic Wall Calendar?
“…stunning reinterpretation of a calendar is a masterful example of how a designer can completely flip a genre signifier on its head. Geisler reimagines calendars in order to change the way we visualize time, and in turn, redefines what it means to save the date.” Mike McGregor, Kickstarter, NYC
“…one-of-a-kind…”

How did it start?
The project began in 2009 as a promotional work for my Typographic Studio in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. One week before New Year’s the remaining prints went out to friends and clients. The response was overwhelming. People called up and said that they wanted to buy more or that they had already framed it.
In 2010 we decided to turn the project into a Kickstarter campaign →kck.st/20eleven. The response was again very positive. After a successful campaign with 205% funding, we shipped over 90 calendars to people all over the globe.
The "2012 Typographic Wall Calendar" is a project to produce a large (70cm x 100cm / 27.56in x 39.37in) printed wall calendar for the year 2012. The calendar is made of two-thousand and twelve used keyboard keys. The keys are arranged manually to write out all days of the year 2012.
