Graphic designer and type designer Mark Simonson recently detailed many the typeface accuracies and inaccuracies in AMC’s Mad Men. [Kottke]

From obvious type errors in the series’ title design and set designs to the small details of the yellowed plastic shields on prop typewriters, Simonson points out many of the flaws you might see if you’re looking for them.

I agree with Simonson’s statement that looking for these flaws adds just one more enjoyable aspect to watching this great show.

Also: Simonson’s post on type spec’ing is really fascinating and worth reading.
