Vending machine selector.




It´s easy to read, I think it´s easier to read in lower case.

The long shape of the letters and their disposition makes it look old, It has also an italic typeface.

Foster´s Hollywood panel.




It combines a retro script with a serif, which also looks retro, I like this combination of two different typefaces.

Dedication panel to Gregorio Marañón.




This type looks very old, and I thin it adds a touch of greatness to a panel in honor of a famous character.

Signboard.




The this type I think it´s retro because of the angles in the corners of the letters, also the letter A  has a weird inclination.

FOURTH WEEK: RETRO

Day 2.
Book cover.




This book is quite old, so the typography in the cover is old too, I think that serif and all the gold used makes it more retro, the height of the type and the thins and thicks makes it look retro too.
