A four-page flyer advertising the Nintendo Super System arcade machine. Modula Sans is used to suggest that the system is modern and cutting-edge, contrasting with the more old-fashioned fonts associated with earlier “systems”.
Futura Extra Bold is used alongside Modula Sans for headings. Smaller text uses Matrix. Both Matrix and Modula Sans had been recently designed by Zuzana Licko.
The Nintendo Super System logo itself uses Aurora Condensed.
