Bumper sticker design from ca. 1993 for the public radio station 88.7 WBFO in Buffalo, NY, a service of the State University of New York at Buffalo (or just University at Buffalo).

Both “NPR NEWS” and “88.7 FM” are set in a slightly horizontally-stretched Pritchard, designed in 1990 by Martin Wait for Letraset. “& jAzZ” is set in Remedy Double, designed in 1991 by Frank Heine for Emigre; the A used is a stylistic alternate. The WBFO logotype is set in tightly-spaced Bernhard Modern Bold, designed in 1937 by Lucian Bernhard for ATF; the crossbar of F is truncated to better accommodate O.
