Spanish Typography- Taberna Galache



Most eatery places I have noticed in the centre of Madrid that try their hardest to let of a modern and sophisticated feel seem to be slightly stuck in a time warp with their black and gold decorative font (and maybe not helped by the faded mustard cover).
This sign from 'Taberna Galache' is an ideal example of this. They use all caps which to me seems quite overpowering but not necessarily in a good way. The curly serifs seem quite garish, which is a shame because the atmosphere and intention of establishments like this seem to let off a lot more than what could be judged from them.
