These posters again have a intriguing quality you would not receive from digital print. They have a decorative and vintage character to them. I find the type interesting to due to both being over flourished which syncs in well with the floral patterned background. Both are a flamboyant serif typeface, which is shown in things like the over-extended legs on the 'K's. Both typeface have a hand rendered painter sign quality which is reflected mostly with the serifs within the left piece of typography due to this being a popular 'trend' within painted sign letterform:
This type below I find interesting due to the process of how it has been made. The type itself is a ornate wood block type which has a intricate floral pattern which has been engraved into it.
