Those pastel blue-green plastic boxes from the early 1950's, with white screen printed letters checking out "FLOUR", "SUGAR", "COFFEE" etc. on one side were a basic quiet existence in our house back then and for decades after. Seeing them-Even that soft blue-green colour felt like home.
" SUGAR", the soul survivor of that set has actually become one of those ordinary products of day-to-day life that in some way end up being easy icons of another time, ripe with memories.
Obviously I had to make a font.
