Trementinaires

"With the name of the "Trementinaires" they were known in the rural Catalonia (Spain) of the 19th century, a group of field women who were visiting villages and farmhouses recovering from children, pregnant women or grandparents, to cows, goats or porks, using plants and oils of herbs.

They were recovering from a sore up to a broken bone. The nerves. The dizziness. A twisting. The headache. A sting. The evil humor. Her knowledge of the plants, her properties and the processes of production of remedies acquired by the oral transmission, made them deserve a reputation that has come to the present day. The project for these packaging, is a well-deserved honoring to these wise, brave and adventurous women."

Agree with JLW. The letter spacing and the way some letterforms connect need work. Note the "n" and "s"/ the "g" to the "y".

hi JLW, I think your website must be in the same 'horrors of design' scrapbook.

amy,about the letter spacing, you really think is necessary work too much on it, in this kind of graphism inspired in an ancestral occupation? (have you research about 'trementinaires'?) probably agree with you in connection of g and y.
