On the occasion of Fanta’s 75th anniversary, Coca-Cola Germany released a “Klassik” version, packaged in glass bottles evoking the mid-century design by Raymond Loewy. Fanta Klassik follows the authentic original recipe including 30% whey and pomace that was born from necessity in 1940, when Coca-Cola syrup couldn’t be imported into Nazi Germany during World War II due to a trade embargo [Wikipedia]. The aesthetic of the advertising campaign obviously doesn’t reference the war period, but rather the early 1970s, using the most basic formula: orange + ITC Souvenir.

“Heh, the seventies are truly gone when Souvenir shows up here” — Mark Simonson on the Typophile Type ID Board
