    <title>Scorpio &amp; Hoopla in use</title>
    <link>https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/32359/scorpio-and-hoopla</link>
    <description>Scorpio &amp; Hoopla in use. Scorpio is first shown in Photo-Lettering’s Psychedelitypes (1968) as Psychedelitype 5882. No lowercase. Their Ballard is the same design with the bottom rounds cut off.&#13;
&#13;
Hoopla is a very similar design, but with rounder bottom (see esp. ‘C’ or ‘S’) and a (non-descending) lowercase. Shown in a Lettergraphics catalog from 1976 (but not yet in one from 1969).&#13;
&#13;
Various digital interpretations including “BellBottom (Fantazia, many anon), BellBottom.Laser (Lorvad [1991]), Groovy (A&amp;amp;L), Balloon (Brendel). Shown in Solo Art Deco Alphabet book as Colonel Hoople.” [Solopedia] Doobie (2006) is a commercial digitization and used for this sample.</description>

They vary from clowns, animals and strange creatures, to food items.” (<a href="http://mcdonalds.wikia.com/wiki/McDonaldland">McDonald’s Wiki</a>)</p>

<p>The front of the box with the “convenient handle” shows <span>Ronald McDonald and his gang: Captain Crook, Officer Big Mac, Mayor McCheese, and Hamburglar. The type is <a href="https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/32359/scorpio-and-hoopla"><strong>Hoopla</strong></a>, an amorphous film typeface that probably originated at <a href="https://fontsinuse.com/foundry/1373/lettergraphics">Lettergraphics</a>. PLINC’s earlier (?) <a href="https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/32359/scorpio-and-hoopla">Scorpio</a> from 1968 is virtually identical, except for its slightly boxier bottoms in <strong>C</strong> or<span class="nbsp">&nbsp;</span><strong>S</strong>.</span></p>
