A proof-reader’s nightmare.

(Genij, in Russian, is genius).

 

UPDATE: One of our sources in Munich suggests the typography is part of a war between rival agents:

The promoter Winderstein and his hopelessly old-fashioned agency decided it’s time to compete with his rival, Bell’Arte, run by Dr Schreyer, who has made a habit of putting up posters like

IVO
POG
ORE
LIĆ



So it’s actually a typographical riposte!
