Palms, Set in Italic

Even palms lean in.

Three leaning palm silhouettes on a small island point, huge orange sun setting over teal water under a coral sky. Vintage letterpress poster.

The Story

On a point along the lake shore, three palms lean into the sea breeze at matching angles, as they have for decades. Typesetters call that purposeful lean italic. After storms, residents check the palms like landmarks, because that is what the trees have become.

The Making

  • Poster finished with letterpress texture in Photoshop.
  • The three palm silhouettes leaned and spaced in Illustrator like a line of type - matched angle, even spacing between trunks, baseline held at the waterline.
  • Print-prepped at 2400 × 3000 px, 300 dpi.
