The new year holds a challenge for better living. With good will, we can make use of our expanding knowledge to create new, wondrous environments and leisure for human growth. And thus, you and I can achieve the world of our dreams.

I love the first design, by Miracle (what an appropriate name). Too bad 1932 wasn't actually that "feliz." I wonder if the number blocks (typesetting pieces, right?) are a photograph or a drawn graphic?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing, but am pretty convinced the metal type are all photographs. Miracle is someone I hope to report on again sometime. He deserves far more recognition!
DeleteThese are beautiful designs. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome. So glad you enjoyed it.
