Jane McDevitt of Maraid Design just uploaded a set of old British wresting posters. I love studying old wresting and boxing posters because of how, um… enthusiastic the designers were about typography. Most turn out to be lovably ugly, but occasionally it works in an odd way, like in the example above. Either way, it’s a good way to study typographic tricks for establishing hierarchy, as long as you can keep in mind that it doesn’t work so much to use all of them at the same time.
