Large decorative lettering dominates "Greetings from Rhinelander Wisconsin," a mural by Alixandra Jade that spans a brick storefront in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. The word "Rhinelander" commands the composition in bold, dimensional letters rendered in teal, yellow, and cream, each character filled with landscape vignettes—evergreen forests, a brick building, a dog portrait, and water scenes—that transform typography into a visual inventory of place.
The mural employs a vintage postcard aesthetic that frames its letterforms within a soft yellow sky. A golden sun and white clouds float above, anchoring the work in nostalgic Americana while grounding the composition. Below the primary text, "Wisconsin" sits on a banner, and the lower register blooms with colorful floral motifs in yellow, white, purple, and green—sunflowers and clustered blooms that punctuate the warm background and create visual weight at the base.
The color palette of yellow, teal, and green creates rhythmic contrast across the wall surface. Lettering and landscape details interlock seamlessly, making the mural's dual function—bold typography and narrative illustration—work as one integrated design. The work occupies significant wall area, commanding attention from street level while remaining accessible to pedestrian viewing.
