“Mit 66 Jahren” is a schlager song by Austrian singer Udo Jürgens (1934–2014), released in December 1977 as a single from his album Lieder, die auf Reisen gehen. It spent a total of fifteen weeks in the German charts, and was later covered by Chris de Burgh as “Life begins at 66”.

The typography pairs caps from Binner, squeezed and with a compact umlaut, with Plantin Bold Condensed. The cover of the album was designed by Manfred Vormstein. It’s not clear if he worked on the single sleeve as well.
