General Telephone System ad
In this 1957 ad for General Telephone System, custom spiked serif lettering takes center stage. The use of color and mosaic-like faceting aids in emphasizing the headline. Latino Samba by House Industries is a contemporary cousin.
This is a cool ad! It jumped out at me as I have an aqua phone just like that!
It is neat how they filled the font with mosaic texture… creative idea.
