This month will go down as “60s August,” at least in the annals of bossy blog.
A reader saw this 1965 Ikea catalog on the fabulous website Boing Boing and felt compelled to send it in. (Thank you, Gentle Reader!)
Isn’t it awesome? Timely not just because of bossy blog’s recent post about the 1965 decorating book, but because Ikea’s in the news right now for a reason other than furniture:
Seems they’re going from a modified Futura to Verdana, and folks are NOT happy. I tell you, it restores my faith in humanity when people get into verbal fisticuffs over typeface.
There are more pictures of the ’65 catalog – who KNOWS what font that uses – at the original source, the blog ikke tikke theo. Enjoy!
