A very contemporary look for the Swinging Sixties here with a mighty colourful advert for the papermakers and suppliers, Spicers. It uses a bold typeface – Futura Black – and credits a designer, Lou Klein. Klein, quite recently arrived in the UK from his native America, went on to become an influential designer in the British graphic design world.
