Source: Wall decal
Typeface Classification: Varied type- script with serif fonts and serif fonts at all different sizes
What is it?: This is a quote wall decal that you can buy at hobby lobby
Analyze this piece: The reason I picked this type is because of it's uniqueness and the fact that it combines multiple type faces. It is quoting scripture and the way that the font is used resembles an old western poster (those posters combine any font and all different sizes) and I found it interesting that the same style would be used for a quote relating to the Bible. I know that this style is also very common for items containing Godly quotes but it didn't really click to me until I saw this wall decal, then I made the connection to dated western posters. The use of this text can purposely date it's contents.
How will this influence my work? : I think that this use of type can be a good idea when I want to make a dated piece. It really is a universal way of relating to something many years ago. At the same time, I am not a huge fan of mixing that many typefaces and sizes but for this purpose, I think it is successful. I can definitely apply this style to future works when the time presents itself.
