Mod stickers
“Right On” in Stripes, with alternates used to make ligatures. Some of its eight lines were filled in as it was suggested by Letraset.
From The Peculiar Manicule’s superb collection of mod miscellania: A sheet of six colorful stickers with popular 1960s/70s sayings like “Right on” and “Keep on truckin’”. The sheet is undated, but the inclusion of Stripes reveals it can’t be printed any earlier than 1973, when this typeface was first issued by Letraset.
“Pow” is derived from Optex (Letraset, 1970). P and W are customized.
Bottleneck (Letraset, 1972) for “Stay loose”. The bottom-heavy face was designed by Tony Wenman who also created Stripes.
Futura Black for “Keep on truckin’’”. Originally issued by the Bauer foundry in 1929, the modernist stencil face was adopted by Letraset, too.
Full sheet. “Love” appears to be lettering modeled after an extrabold sans. “Wow” is based on Optex.

WOW! RIGHT ON! LOVE IT!
It amazes me how some of the uses of Stripes improve a lot by the correct use of the spacematic, the right alternates and the filling of spaces between lines.
