There would be differences as in the 1950s typefaces were used in a different matter, not digital, no way, photocomposition devices were used. Very different visit http://www.redsun.com/type/abriefhistoryoftype/ or http://nwalsh.com/comp.fonts/FAQ/cf_28.htmfor more information on the different approach to type.
