The 1970s were a bold, transformative decade for design, and typography was no exception. As phototypesetting matured, designers found themselves freed from the physical constraints of metal type, enabling letters to touch, overlap, and interact in entirely new ways.
More generally, designers embraced the curves, flair, and experimental spirit of the time, giving rise to typography trends such as playful display fonts, chunky serif types, and futuristic styles.
