Gill Sans is usually the typeface associated with 2001: A Space Odyssey, but this purely typographic treatment using Permanent Headline for a promotional program (28 pages, 16″×7.25″) is equally dramatic.

The booklet also came in a more conventional portrait format.

  1. I haven’t done an overlay comparison, but I believe this is Permanent Headline and not Compacta. I’ve updated the entry accordingly.
