One of the many signs in the Spanish city of Valladolid that the Valladolid con carácter team has documented since 2017.
Dating the signage is not easy, but looking at the Catastro we can tell the building was built in 1983. Google Maps shows the cutlery shop closed at some point between 2018 and 2023.
“Villalba” appears to be based on the original Turtle as issued by Letraset, with modifications, see especially a and i. “ARTICULOS-ASEO” appears to be Microgramma, slightly stretched vertically. It’s unclear whether “Cuchilleria” was derived from a typeface.
