Thread by @politicsndesign

Along with the #FontSunday theme, we will be sharing a thread of mail-related graphics today. First up, a vintage Special Delivery 60¢ U.S. Postage Stamp.

In one of the stranger fashion collaborations of the decade, ubiquitous graphics from the @USPS were used by fast fashion retailer, Forever 21 in 2019. #FontSunday

It's worth including this great piece on Jason Polan by @thedailyheller #FontSunday

1958 Freedom Of The Press 4 Cent US Postage Stamp featuring what appears to be an acorn press for printmaking nerds out there. #FontSunday

Of course, we need to share the iconic American Revolution Bicentennial postage stamp and branding. Featured here is the Bicentennial @standardsmanual for design thinking. #FontSunday

Some bold graphics in red and blue stamps...
