OVIDIO’S SWEETS & TO***CO, iz-Żejtun. I was sent this photo some months back and don’t have much any information about it except that I love it! Apologies for not giving more credits, but I have no idea who took this photo but I thought I’d share it so that Maltatype’s followers could join in appreciating the beauty of the type and the shop signage!

Some of the more unusual lettering can be found at SAN REMO BAR in Mosta. The signage is made using the reverse painting method, however the type style itself reminds me of tberfil lettering.
Big thanks to for sending this over 😍

I’ll do a post praising further soon, because ’s really done things right, but until then, here’s a set of 8 framed, gilded letters, available exclusively at
