I've just found this magazine from Peru in Budapest, only God knows why.

Textual is the journal of the Peruvian National Institute of Culture. Concerned with literature, humanities, and arts, it was published between 1971 and 1975. CEDOC (Centro de Documentación de la Biblioteca Central UNMSM) has digitizations of all ten issues. The logo is based on Amelia, in lowercase letters and with filled-in counters.

Number 9 is dedicated to philosopher, educator and journalist Augusto Salazar Bondy (1925–1974). Display typefaces used in this issue include Michel, Thalia, and Ludlow Garamond. Body text is set in Helvetica and Permanent, with drop caps from Neo Script.
