Promotional ad for Megatek’s Whizzard 1650, a color graphics terminal introduced in 1983. It was placed that year in magazines such as Mini Micro Systems. The “Traumaturgy.*” headline uses ITC Cheltenham Ultra Condensed (1978). Smaller copy is set in other styles from Tony Stan’s 1970s Cheltenham revision. Megatek had used ITC Cheltenham already in previous ads.
