Day trip to #Calais and was fascinated by the posters made during the German occupation in #WW2. Some are quite chilling and tell a story of the banality of martial law.

I'm wondering what the reason is behind the diverse gorgeous #typefaces used for each line.

I have a theory that wartime conditions meant that the printer just had to make the sections as coherent as possible with whatever type sets they had available. But it might also have been standard #design practice. Any ideas?
