Does anyone recognize the typeface on the first image? It's a striking bold face.
I have to say I don't but keep in mind that this is a book cover from a poster that represents the cold war era. It is possible that it is not a computer generated font but rather a silk screened original. That's not to say it isn't a known typeface. Good luck finding it and if you do please come back and post it. Great question by the way!
its a silkscreen font, but bears a striking resemlance to masheen bold
OP here.
Thanks for the info, anon. Masheen looks close enough to open it up and slice it to look like the book cover. The 1 and 7 are particularly cool, and would be easy to modify.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the info. Glad it was helpful.
