This weekend I was in Virgin and I picked up this Burt Bacharach record. Not because I’m a fan of his music but because I love the slip cover design. So simple but beautiful. Great example of the International Typographic Style. I have to do some investigating and find out who designed this.

I saw this typeface today on a huge billboard in Times Square and for the life of me I can’t remember the name of this face. I know I’ve used it before. Anyone know?
