This image shows a black shape that looks like a simple, flat roof with a flat base underneath. Inside the base, there’s a white oval with the words “factile no box” written in bold letters. The lines are thick and solid, with no shading or extra details. The word “factile” might be a play on “factual” or “factual” + “mobile,” hinting at something real but also movable or changeable. The design feels like a mix of architecture and typography. Next, check out George Maciunas, Ay-O to see how he used similar bold, simple shapes in other works.
