Letterpress poster in 70×100cm printed from traditional wood type (Dalmazia Serie C by Xilografia Italiana) in 50 Cicero (225 mm). Since I only have the set in uppercase, it is a bit hard to identify. Oh boy, how I would love these lower case sorts! But since I bought it from Italy, it makes sense that is by Xilografia Italiana.
The smaller written info cast from hot-metal is Ludlow Condensed Gothic. And all over and between are many historic and a few new photo plates.
Made for Salomon Départ, Annecy. In celebration of “Post Park Skiing”, these kids really ski everything. ♥
