Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, 1982

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (“the Charter”) is a bill of rights that was entrenched in the Constitution of Canada in 1982. The text on the original poster is set in Carl Dair’s Cartier, which was commissioned for the Centennial in 1967. Issued by Mono Lino in Toronto, its use was an expression of Canadian nationalism for many years afterwards.

The poster version that’s available from the Government of Canada’s website at the time of writing is a later emulation and uses Raleigh, a similar design made by David Anderson and Robert Norton for Typsettra around 1977. Since Raleigh is roman only, the italic parts were set in ITC Garamond.

From kensfoods.com:

Ken’s is a family business that traces back to the basement of Ken’s Steak House, a restaurant in Framingham, Massachusetts that became known for its delicious salad dressings.

As of 2023, they offer more than sixty different flavors, from Apple Cider Vinaigrette to Zesty Italian. The “Ken’s Steak House” logo is in some Bookman with swashes. Judging from the a’s bowl and other details, it’s not Bookman Swash a.k.a. “Sixties Bookman” as offered by Letraset, VGC and others, though.

“Steakhouse Dressing” is in all-caps Goudy Oldstyle, with Futura for “1941”. The product names are shown in Raleigh. Ken’s uses these typefaces at least since 2008, and probably a lot longer than that. On current labels, the product category (like “Dressing”, for example) and other additional text appears to be in a squooshed ITC Berkeley Oldstyle Italic with swash caps and modifications.
