It was produced from 1976 to 1978.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis series of adverts was issued in 1977 by Matsushita Electric / Panasonic, promoting consumer-oriented audio equipment made under their Technics brand. They pair two typefaces with flared stem endings, **Albertus** and **Optima**. Technics ads used this combination already in 1976.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source: www.flickr.com **Uploaded to Flickr by Bart Solenthaler.
