Great collection. I’ve always been fascinated with vintage typography and how they’ve used in advertising. It’s not too different from how we use them today. Although many of these are simple, not all are focused on readability. (Luxe, and Weight Watchers). But I admit, it is aesthetically pleasing. It’s great to see some of typography and advertising history.
