Chaharshanbe Suri posters: bonfires, sparklers, ajil

Posters for Chaharshanbe Suri, the fire festival on the eve of the last Wednesday of the Persian year, when people jump over small bonfires. Each poster letters the festival name exactly over one scene of the night: bonfires under the sky, sparklers over a rooftop, or a bowl of ajil beside a small fire. The finishes are vintage screenprint, flat vector and linocut. Type a different scene and the layout carries it.

Frequently asked questions

Is the festival name lettered correctly?

The name is lettered exactly as Chaharshanbe Suri on each poster. Check it against your event before printing.

Do the posters carry any other text?

No. Each poster has the festival name and the scene only, with no watermark or logo.

What is the difference between the styles?

Screenprint is night navy with fire orange, flat vector is deep purple with gold and white sparks, and linocut is black and red ink on cream.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
