The 1962 Seattle Worlds Fair is interesting as it's when the first bits of 60s-era modernism leak into the pop culture stream. Half of the fair's artifacts are 50s-era illustration and half are 60s Jet Age Modern.
Examples... This:

Oh Clarendon. Talk about thin line between love and hate. Can you still think a font is attractive when it's on the side of half the buses in the city advertising Starbucks' new instant coffee? Or in the TV ad for Madea Goes to Jail? (Really there are a million examples... it's fucking everywhere. It was four years ago, but now it's really out of hand.)

I still think of Clarendon as National Park signage font. Fortunately the NPS has started switching away from it.

I still dig Clarendon. I've been hating Algerian a ton lately though, not that they have anything to do with each other except being pretty ubiquitous.

Just reminded myself of this one (warning: Blue Note cover):
http://www.orinjj.force9.co.uk/JimmySmith/pix/hi/50s/newsound/newsound1-1.jpg
I wish I could nail down what the text font is there, in the title. It's not quite Clarendon, and WhatTheFont seems confused by it. Custom job, I think.

Close. But it's close to a lot of things.

This thread is making me think/worry that innovation in typography stalled after this era, and unless some people get crazy creative in a hurry, we're all doomed to mine the past. A lot like jazz.

Do you know details about it? Because I'm thinking of basing a design on it, and I want to give it its due.
