This is serious. KNOW YOUR PLACE.

Retro ad alert: Chanel ran this in WWD 2007.

Not new news but still a tickle! The way it’s worded, it could very well have been Fake Karl’s doing but the timeline’s all wrong.

I’ve always thought Obama’s ‘Change‘ campaign used a very similar font to Chanel’s. (Typophiles desist. I don’t speak type. I merely observe that they look similar. ) He used  the Gotham just in case you were wondering.. (originally commissioned for GQ and designed by Hoefler & Frere-Jones, according to the Helvetica blog.) That’s still good trivial a year and half later.
