This is a poster created by Jason Munn at Small Stakes Studio out of Oakland, CA. If you have never seen the work at Small Stakes, then take some time to check it out, it will be worth it. Like this poster, their work is clever and clean. This poster may not represent just how amazing their usage off typographic elements can be incorporated into their designs, but the type face they selected in this poster is a perfect fit for their design.


This is a cookie tin that I found. It was either in very good shape for its age or a reproduction of what I would guess to be a 1920's style tin. The art deco style type face works well with the san serif banner on the bottom. Combined with hand painted image of the boys and the black and white leafs, this reproduction really gives a great sense of early twentieth package design.

What I find most interesting about this piece is the way each of these type faces are so unique in style but work together to form a dynamic harmony. Each letter looks lovingly hand drawn. My only criticism is the weight of Paree. If it was heavier it would make the piece seem less top heavy.
