This is a modernist design ' Dolomiti dove passa la Sad' from 1929 by Franz Lenhart, Very simple design small amount of flat bold colour. It does use a simple legible typeface for the headline but then has quite a difficult script font at the bottom which some may argue leads the text into decretive but illegible, which is not a modernist trait. However the overall design does exactly what it needs to, to promote a travel booklet and doesn't complicate itself for the sake of decoration.
Example of Post Modernist design.
I used the Lou Reed album promotion design by Stefan Sagmeister to identify a post modern design, it is obviously form over function, where text is used mainly as image and legibility becomes the types second function, due to the amount of information it starts to confuse the eye to what you should look at first. and isn't obvious at first what the designs main function is.
