Advertising campaign for Peruvian TV company and network Panamericana Televisión. This campaign highlighted the then new programming for the second half of that year. The wordmark is set in Astra, the body text in Univers, and the headline text in Beton.

I've found this cover while crate digging this week-end. Mecanorma & Letraset ‘line typefaces’ festival happening right here!

The smaller bits use caps from Horatio, while the track listing and the credits on the back cover are in ITC Avant Garde Gothic.

Did Letraset sponsor a contest any other year besides 1973?

The numbers on the cover are from Tonal, by Christopher K. Lee. Very hard to get those Benday dots in the background to line up perfectly with transfer lettering …

Bombere, the top choice of the judges, is based on Grotesque No. 9. Second-prize-winner Magnificat is by Friedrich Peter, who also did Vivaldi.

Of all the faces shown here, I think I’ve only seen Shatter and Le Griffe used. I’ll look through FIU to see if any of the others are represented. See also my follow-up with a complete list of all twenty winners.
