Fail We May, Sail We Must – Andrew Weatherall Poster

A typographic poster inspired by the legendary DJ and producer Andrew Weatherall and his iconic motto:

“Fail we may, sail we must.”

The phrase became closely associated with Weatherall after a chance encounter with an Irish fisherman — a simple philosophy about persistence, creativity and pushing forward no matter what.

This design is a tribute to one of the most influential figures in electronic music. Read more here about the spirit behind the design.

This poster captures that spirit in a bold typographic design.
