Does "purely typographic posters for example" in the following context mean "which purely typographic posters were examples of the application of such strategies"?
Context:
ACT UP, formed in 1987, has been the most prominent AIDS activists group in the USA, mounting numerous demonstrations and poster campaigns, as well as showing work in galleries. The group included a number of commercial designers, advertising creatives and artists who frequently used and adopted strategies that were more in line with those of advertising than of art: typically a blend of the straight-talking, hard-sell techniques of traditional advertising and the dogmatic or declarative tone of traditional propaganda, purely typographic posters for example.
Yes, purely typographic posters were examples of such strategies.

The sentence is not written well. That's the problem. Just saying...
When I look up examples of ACT UP's posters, they are not "purely" typographic posters.
