Vintage, Mosaic, Greek? Decorative piece outside of Restaurant, Atocha



Peculiar use of colour, not quintessentially spanish but still ornate and decorative also depicting a very peculiar image, a more Mediterranean image somewhere more suitably found in Greece or Italy. The restaurant served very traditional Spanish fairs, and according to my translation - Comidas de Encargo - Caterer really does suggest that the design was created a fair amount of years ago. It isn't expressive nor over complicated, simply stating that this establishment will cater for you.

It is intricate and intriguing and a fine artistic example of how typography can be created. I really enjoy the shape of the letters and the peculiar top-heavy shape to the R and the slant on the C. An interesting piece of Spanish Typography.
