A lovely insert, enhanced by an elegant geometric design, for a no-name audio cassette from Germany. The typography relies on a Swiss/International approach, and leverages multiple weights of the Helvetica typeface to organize information. The tri-color palette has a neat muted blue, contrasted with the white of the paper stock, and a black.

A special note for the “Compact Cassette” visual mark, all stunning in its italicized goodness. This logo probably was custom drawn, and doesn’t use a font.
