Designed by Gerard Sierra and Cristina Lavilla, this poster celebrates Els Tres Tombs de Constantí, a traditional Catalan festival honoring Saint Anthony, the patron saint of animals.
For the poster design, two typefaces were selected to craft a balance between tradition and modernity. The title and key details feature Glucosa, while the rest of the text uses Owners Text.
Glucosa (2024) is a fresh release by Jordi Embodas (tipografies), with contributions from type designer Gerard Sierra (gs-type.com). This contemporary typeface manages to stay clean and structured on a macro level while introducing a distinctive organic quality. Its soft, rounded corners and squared dots create a unique sense of warmth and sweetness, almost as if the characters have been dipped in honey. The balance between firm strokes and subtle softness makes Glucosa a versatile yet characterful choice for headlines.
Owners Text, designed by Jeremy Mickel and released in 2021 through MCKL, is a sans-serif grotesque that offers a modern yet understated presence. Its clean, functional design pairs perfectly with the playful elegance of Glucosa, ensuring a seamless reading experience for the supporting text.
The combination of these two typefaces reflects the dual nature of the festival itself: rooted in history yet alive with contemporary vibrancy.
