About Pharmacy Rx
Pharmacy Rx revives the green-and-white prescription label of the mid-century American drugstore: a ruled apothecary-green frame, the Rx seal, a serif drugstore name, and typewriter-struck dosage lines on pale gummed paper. Here the white label stock is held as a swatch and floated on a deep apothecary-green ground, so the whole system reads as a documented, intentional dark presentation rather than a lazy white page.
