This World War II propaganda poster was published by the United States Office of War Information in 1943. It features artwork by Bernard Perlin, with lettering provided by Photo-Lettering, Inc.

The years at the top of the poster appear to be hand-lettered. The slogan “Americans will always fight for liberty” is set in Photo-Lettering’s own Madison Gothic.

Monotype Sans Serif (with some, but not all, of its Futura-like alternates) and Copperplate Gothic were used for the small text at the bottom of the poster.
