Promotional flyer for the 1995 edition of Blessings (est. in 1992), a Thanksgiving Eve event by Incredibeets and Mushgroove, the two electronic music promotion companies situated in the heart of Chicago’s underground rave scene. Chances are that the history of these two promoters of this event is virtually unknown or not seen on the internet.

This flyer was printed in two spot colours (medium blue and silver). The graphic design is credited to GCG. Inc./Nadisco and design studio Third Eye Innovations on the back side.

On the front, Vellvé (a Neufville typeface by Tomás Mengual named after the designer's middle name, first released in 1971 and digitized in 1996, a year after this flyer was printed, and expanded into ITC Vellvé with additional styles) is used in two weights behind the Incredibeets mascot – on the top is a bold weight, shown curved with a shiny metallic 3D effect; on the bottom is the light (as a feather) weight for the text information.

The copy and guest names on the rear side are set in what appears to be FontBank’s Brandish (1990–1993, with the curved h), an unauthorized digitization of Blippo Bold, for all aspects except Handel Gothic for the credits. Other fonts include Univers 58 Condensed Italic for the Incredibeets logo (before 1997) and Enigma (see glyph set below) for the Mushgroove logo (before 1996).

Rear side

Full set of Enigma from a 1976 VGC Alphabet Library specimen, with alternate glyphs that were never digitized. These alts include the lowercase (f, double-story g, i, and j with some ink trap corners, x, and z), uppercase (I, straight J, L with curly end, N, T, X, and Z), and numerals (3, 5 and 7 [in which the first and fourth variations shows a middle bar as in z/Z). The design of this typeface has a round and smooth feel and is distinguished by the internal decoration (A, B, H, K, M, N, R, U, V, W, alternate g, h, i, j, k, m, n, u, v, w, y, 8, and also the exclamation and question marks).
