Typ journal from Czechoslovakia
Young people working in the printing industry in Czechoslovakia from 1920s to mid century were graced with a beautiful journal, Typ. The decision to use only a couple of colors, lots of negative space, play with alignment, and change the placement of the title kept the design on the forefront, in the late 40s and today.

The decision to use only two colors and the large negative space was mostly due to cost effectiveness. Designers had to be more creative with a much smaller budget back then.
