I was asked to create a graphic poster to help promote the newly released font by Decade Typefoundry *(now rebranded as Spencer & Sons) called Basingstoke that was based on the classic style of vintage ephemera and specifically by the Sanborn Insurance Maps. I created a poster based on similar influences as the typeface to showcase it's beauty in its original historical context.
