Type choice

carls1a

I am designing a poster for the Gilroy Garlic Festival for fun. I have a cut paper illustration in it. Any suggestions for typeface to go along with this? Maybe something fun, but not crazy

I'm tempted to say Mops Antiqua.

How about Postino or Bernhard Std.

Montara by Jim Parkinson would be a fun choice, slight cutout feel with a bit of retro.

Jos Buivenga's Diavlo might be an interesting choice depending on the tone of your poster, and it's also free.

Another awesome font that happens to be free is Birra from Darden Studio. A little crazy, but too fun not to consider.

Belwe looks like a good choice, fun without losing respectability.The flags on the the V, W, and Y make me think of festivals.
