Cover of the issue for 6–12 July 1991

Super TV was the first West German television newspaper to be sold in East Germany. It still exists today, albeit in a different form. The fonts used are typical examples for magazines from the 1990s. The logo is based on Balloon Drop Shadow, with “die Nützliche” added in Challenge Extra Bold. Other fonts on the cover include various heavyweights like Berthold Block Condensed, Gill Kayo Condensed, and Futura Extra Bold Condensed. The station names on the interior pages are set in a bold condensed style of ITC Souvenir. In general, magazines during this time looked wild with the variety of fonts used.
