I’m totally getting a NOEL JACKSON raised metal sign for my door. Just to let the Joan in the office know what’s up.
Then there is the Gill Sans c. 1930 problem. Gill is used quite a lot in the series, mainly for Sterling Cooper Advertising’s logo and signage. Technically, this is not anachronistic. And the way the type is used—metal dimensional letters, generously spaced—looks right. The problem is that Gill was a British typeface not widely available or popular in the U.S. until the 1970s. It’s a decade ahead of its time in American type fashions.
