Designed by Gerard Sierra and Cristina Lavilla, this poster celebrates Els Tres Tombs de Constantí, a traditional Catalan festival honoring Saint Anthony, the patron saint of animals.

For the poster design, two typefaces were selected to craft a balance between tradition and modernity. The title and key details feature Glucosa, while the rest of the text uses Owners Text.

Glucosa (2024) is a fresh release by Jordi Embodas (tipografies), with contributions from type designer Gerard Sierra (gs-type.com). This contemporary typeface manages to stay clean and structured on a macro level while introducing a distinctive organic quality. Its soft, rounded corners and squared dots create a unique sense of warmth and sweetness, almost as if the characters have been dipped in honey. The balance between firm strokes and subtle softness makes Glucosa a versatile yet characterful choice for headlines.

Owners Text, designed by Jeremy Mickel and released in 2021 through MCKL, is a sans-serif grotesque that offers a modern yet understated presence. Its clean, functional design pairs perfectly with the playful elegance of Glucosa, ensuring a seamless reading experience for the supporting text.

The combination of these two typefaces reflects the dual nature of the festival itself: rooted in history yet alive with contemporary vibrancy.

San Antón is the patron saint of animals. In Madrid the tradition is to have your pet blessed by the saint, eat the saint pastries and see the parade called las vueltas de San Antón. This year Madrid’s City Council decided to maximize this tradition to raise awareness about animal care with a series of activities around urban wildlife and animal rights

The fonts that appear on the poster are Baskerville and Gill Sans Bold Condensed. In the latter case, some letters have been personalized to make reference to the decorative rivets that horses wear in their traditional clothing. In addition this letters has been printed with ink stamps to emphasize the traditional nature of the festival.
