^^ niiiiiice
Futura was pretty rare post-war, wasn't it? - you do see it used in A LOT of popular design from this era, though (including some stuff on this thread) - especially on paperbacks and posters. I was unaware that it was as old as the 20's. I guess I associate a lot of prewar design with Art Deco-style typefaces, but I do not profess to be an expert on the subject (even though I am a g. designer by trade lol).
I would love to read a comprehensive history of typography from the industrial age onward, if such a book exists (recommendations plz).

xp to Pillbox, unless I'm missing, there is no Futura anywhere on this thread except for the VW advert, which is timelessly VW rather than particularly post-war. Despite being over 80 years old, Futura was a pretty rare sight outside of VW adverts until relatively recently (like last 15 years).

A german motion designer animated a bunch of "op art" book covers - half of which are in this thread.
I'm currently helping install the new SFMOMA and there's a design show that includes some gorgeous posters for the italian typewriter company Olivetti. A quick GIS for their posters brings up some great stuff:https://fishinkblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/fishinkblog-1857-olivetti-2.jpghttps://fishinkblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/fishinkblog-1856-olivetti-1.jpg

Olivetti is one of the great designer-friendly companies of the 20th century, both their product-design and their marketing.
From that small but special pantheon which also includes Geigy and Container Corporation of America.
