This is the second poster for the Orquesta Típica de la Ciudad de México (OTCM) in 2026’s 1st Season. The visual narrative centers on a dramatic sunset over the facade of the Museo de la Ciudad de México, where the sky's warm gradients are mirrored by the lyrical and romantic theme of the concert, Amor en clave de sol.

The typographic composition introduces a new, sophisticated hierarchy. The main title is set in Mon Nicolette, an expressive typeface by Mexican designer Cristóbal Henestrosa. Its fluid, calligraphic strokes and elegant swashes—integrated here with musical clef and heart motifs—capture the emotional essence of the repertoire. This is paired with Questa Grande for the new institutional headers of the Orchesta, providing a modern yet classic serif foundation that reflects the orchestra's long-standing heritage. As in previous iterations of the identity, Cabin is utilized for technical data and secondary information, maintaining high legibility against the complex textures of the clouds. The layout remains open and airy, allowing the atmospheric photography and the expressive ligatures of the display type to command the viewer's attention.
