In 2000, New Zealand Post issued a series of ten self-adhesive stamps as “a light-hearted tribute to the foods, toys, sports and lifestyles that define New Zealand’s culture and attitude”. A sequel to a related series from 1994, it features another ten characteristics of everyday New Zealand life. From NZ Posts’s website:

It saluted the versatile li-lo, a pair of cosy ug boots, the gastronomic delights of the chocolate fish, the hot dog, the meat pie and the Anzac biscuit; and our summer necessities, the barbecue, the chilly bin, pipis (a seafood delicacy) and the classic Kiwi holiday home, the bach or crib.

The typeface chosen by designer Bob Gagnon is Dom Casual.
