This 1933 Official American Legion Guide embodies Art Deco and early modernist design. The cover’s bold geometric skyline and triangular composition reflect the era’s fascination with progress. A limited palette enhances contrast, while sans-serif and display fonts balance elegance and readability. The back cover’s circular infographics and high-contrast type highlight Plymouth Motor Corporation’s growth, reinforcing the streamlined aesthetics of the time.
