How do you deliver a sober message through a comic script? To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the font Comic Sans, Karoshi were invited to design a poster for the Comic Sans for Cancer Exhibition in aid of Cancer Research UK.

1994 saw the launch of Comic Sans, but also the passing of Jackie Kennedy Onassis from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Choosing to simultaneously mark both events, we created a stylised portrait by reducing the typeface to a tonal, ASCII-style pattern.
