Looks more like Interstate with a few tweaks:
- Interstae looks much better than the font used in the poster, good pick!3point14159
- I would go for Gotham though, it's better than the poster and this.Gifto
- Hang on, doesn't this poster pre date both Interstate and Gotham??uncle_helv

It's not actually a very attractive font is it. And a shit poster to boot.

I'm not saying it's a great poster, I'm having an argument with a client!

Isn't Interstate based on an older highway signage font?

I would say it's hand drawn, based on the J, and doesn't this poster pre date both Interstate and Gotham?!
- As fonts suggested!uncle_helv
- Yeah, just trying to steer away from the hellishness that is that poster!Gifto

I doubt he's going to want to draw it by hand though, these could be used as an alternative.

There are two fonts here. The headline, which closely resembles Trade Gothic Bold;, and the tagline, well, no clue.

That poster is from 1915. The type was hand drawn.
What was the argument with your client about?
