Polish typography history (and Polish design history) in 2 pictures. Both inscriptions come from Polish buses, Jelcz. The initial letter designs (those descending downwards) were created in the 1950s, while the second ones were introduced in the 1970s. The difference in creativity is clearly evident.

The 50s design is simply beautiful , but I couldn't help but wonder what on earth happened with the 70s version.
