Brief 3 - Matilda type specimen

Now that we have the typeface finalised and are taking part at the Inpress event on 30th November, we decided to create a few screen-printed poster designs showcasing the Matilda font. Individually, we aimed to create 2 posters but ultimately we will do 1 each due to the amount of screens we need to use (A2, 2 colours, 3 posters = 6 screens / 3 large).

I took a few colours from those used in street signs and used these within our designs. As the Matilda font is a structured typeface with subtle eccentricities, I thought it would be best to highlight its curved characteristics by enlarging the letterforms and overlaying one over another. Although I preferred the designs with 3 colours (red, blue and black), it was best to stick with just 2 colours.
