This is a type specimen poster for Ssyuisseo 60, a Korean version of Helvetica designed by a team led by Lee Yongje, commissioned to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Korean-Swiss diplomatic relations. The poster, which reads “I tender my resignation from my position for personal reasons,” was inspired by a line from the movie You People (2023), where the protagonist submits a resignation to his boss and gets ignored: “Pathetic. Who resigns in Helvetica?”
