A collection of both new and old Plaza de Toros posters in which i found located across Madrid. But, only one containing what i would state to be stereotypical Spanish Typography. The poster with the bull head as it centre piece and below a curvaceous probably hand drawn almost bone like lettering form this could have a connotation to the horn of the bulls. The letters are all juxtaposing size including upper and lower case but the X-Height of the letters still differ within its similar case. This adds to me, an element of the hand made and artistry. This is coupled with an ornate addition of a collection of coloured flowers and clear upper case text depicting information.
This is a very peculiar juxtaposition to the other posters which i found which were more clear and expressive with its information instead of aesthetics. I like the blue text on white, the poster is clearly deteriorated and graffiti ridden but still i find visually stimulating with informative black and white imagery paired with legible block text. Alike the Villaviciosa poster i found, which combines colour imagery and text to create a contemporary poster but still with holds the Spanish tradition of the Bull Fight.
