I cannot stop laughing!
This has to be the most post-modern telephone design I've ever seen. I wonder what the designer was thinking back in the 80s when it was designed.
It's a Webcor Desk/ Wall Mount Telephone with Jumbo Buttons, Model 767SW

the large text on the buttons could be good if you had really bad viision and or low control of your hands.
I completely agree, this is probably the main intent of this design from the start. However, the level of execution is so unexpectedly zesty, it's hard not to admire it!
Oh wow. So, I'm not (physically) 8, nor do I have any disabilities that would require comically large buttons, but I feel very drawn to this phone and want to push every single one of these buttons.
oh this is almost definitely for folks with vision or other impairments, if i had to guess
but it's also banger as fuck
If the receiver was Princess style, you could bash each button with the earphone.
Of course, Stanley had no way of knowing his boss' extension was 2845.
To be completely honest that'd probably be incredibly useful for my grandma not because of old timey tech but because at this point she's so fragile and blind any form of handheld device is literally a unusual brick and this one at least has buttons she'd be able to both see and hit.
This is an accessability phone.
everyone's taking about how accessible it is meanwhile i just want to push the big buttons
I would use that as decor even without it being functional. Somehow wiring it to control a sound system would be amazing!
This phone was made specifically for me, the person who frets as they read off the phone number they're trying to call and scrambles to find the right button.
