A striking minimalist commemorative issued by Mexico to promote the Exposición Filatélica Nacional (EXPO ’73), released in 1974.
The bold black geometric typography and symmetry give this stamp a strong modernist, almost poster-art feel, uncommon among traditional pictorial issues.
Designed by G. Gutiérrez, it emphasizes graphic design over imagery, making it popular with thematic collectors of exhibitions and typography.
Denominated 40 centavos, it served both postal use and promotion of Mexico’s growing philatelic culture.
An attractive specialty piece for exhibition, art-design, and Mexico collections alike.
