    Illustrator and designer Akiko Stehrenberger was commissioned to create two distinct posters for Joe Talbot’s 2019 film The Last Black Man in San Francisco.

    The posters – while having similar aesthetic styles – use different typefaces. The first poster features Periódico, and the second Caslon Graphique. Both use tight and blocky styling to give the film a 1970s feel.
