San Francisco, in the Shin-Hanga Woodblock tradition (1910s to 1940s). Woodblock light: soft gradations, rain, lanterns and the evening glow. The Departure Board drew it from the place’s own motifs (red suspension bridge, cable cars, fog over hills), then set the name in Marcellus, a real typeface, so the letters print as cleanly as the paper allows. The rule it keeps: No publisher’s seal, no artist’s cartouche or signature, and no characters in any script.

Before a size goes on sale, the file is measured against it: pixels per inch at that size, how much of the picture a crop would lose, tone and sharpness. A size that fails is not offered, so there is nothing to choose wrong.
