Cleopatra Jones (1973). The typeface Bust (also found labeled as Chesty) of unknown origins, from Dan X. Solo’s Solotype collection. It’s slightly modified for this poster; the round lowercase c is blown up and used in place of the more oblong cap C, and they’ve added some dimensional shading. Cool car. Up top is Folio Bold Extended (Folio-Grotesk Breitfett), a popular 70s television typeface, with the tagline in Helvetica Light.
