DescriptionThis teaser poster for True Grit is unusual in that it relies entirely on typography to sell the film, allowing for the title and the names of the actors and directors to be uncharacteristically large. The design is modeled after classic “Wanted” posters commonly associated with the Wild West. While it was created digitally, the manicules (images of a hand pointing with its index finger) and decorative display type of the title both reference traditional American letterpress printing.On View
