07/30/2018

Lady Bird is a movie released in 2017. It is the story of a teenager who longs to be in the big city and dreams of becoming someone else, of the everyday antics created by the gap between her peculiar self-esteem and the mundane reality, and of the family that clumsily watches over her. The font used on the poster is Amador. The black lettering with a stained-glass border in the background reflects the fact that the protagonist attends a catholic school. The casting script was handwritten by Leanne Shapton (http://www.leanneshapton.com) in an original font created for the film and used in the opening titles and all marketing tools.
