Swiss “Carte postale” with Basel-Bern cancels & airplane air post stamps
This postcard was likely mailed to Zurich in 1924. It’s interesting to notice that the “By Airmail” label on the top left of the postcard includes the three widely-spoken languages in Switzerland. Each language is set apart by the type style and width. The hierarchy sets the first line in German, with a sans serif and extra bold typeface. Italian falls on line three, set in a lighter italic face.
