From Wikipedia:

They Might Be Giants, sometimes called The Pink Album, is the debut studio album from Brooklyn-based band They Might Be Giants. It was released by Bar/None in 1986. The album generated two singles, “Don't Let's Start” and “(She Was A) Hotel Detective”. […]

The album’s cover art was illustrated by Rodney Alan Greenblat, who had no prior association with the band. It extends to the back cover of the album, and shows John Linnell and John Flansburgh riding a large blue dog. John Linnell commented that the illustration caused the record to be mistaken for a children's album. The art was pasted up by John Flansburgh.

The title on the front cover uses caps from Filmotype Metro. The text on the back cover is set in roman and italic styles from ITC Garamond.

This typography consists of two Filmotype faces; the front uses Potomac and the spine uses Metro (the latter of which was also used for They Might Be Giants’ self-titled debut album from 1986). The track list uses Letter Gothic, which was available on the IBM Selectric.

US One Sheet poster, designed by Seiniger Advertising

Movie posters for the 1980 musical comedy The Blues Brothers, directed by John Landis and starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. The film is based upon the American blues and soul band of the same name which was originally founded by Belushi and Aykroyd in 1978 for a musical sketch on Saturday Night Live.

For the US poster, designed by Seiniger Advertising, the film's title, billing, tagline and credit block are all set in Goudy Oldstyle.

For the British and International posters, the film’s title is based on Portly, very tightly spaced with slight rotation to certain glyphs, adding some rhythm for a more playful, bouncier feel. The above-title billing, tagline and credit block are set in Rockwell. This same type combination can also be seen on some localized posters for specific regions, such as the Spanish poster.

Filmotype Metro in use for the opening credits of Little Shop of Horrors —

a 1986 American rock musical comedy horror film directed by Frank Oz. It is a film adaptation of the off-Broadway musical comedy of the same name by composer Alan Menken and writer Howard Ashman about a geeky florist shop worker who finds out his Venus flytrap can speak. Menken and Ashman's Off-Broadway musical was based on the low-budget 1960 film The Little Shop of Horrors, directed by Roger Corman. The 1986 film stars Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Vincent Gardenia, Steve Martin, and Levi Stubbs as the voice of Audrey II. The film also featured special appearances by Jim Belushi, John Candy, Christopher Guest and Bill Murray. It was produced by David Geffen through The Geffen Company and released by Warner Bros. on December 19, 1986.

Released in the 1950s, neither Metro nor its wider sibling Portly are available digitally yet.

The end credits for the film are set in Dom.

This record for twist parties in the kid’s room was recorded by the Candy Men. It’s not the group of the same name that performed as the backing band of Roy Orbison, though. The Candy Bar And The Spearmint Twist was released in 1959 by Peter Pan Records.

“Candy Bar” is set in Portly, an extended variant of Metro. It was added to the Filmotype library in 1955. “Spearmint” is another Filmotype face used in all caps: It’s Zingo – with added stripes. “Hi-fi for small fry” pairs Flash (1939) and Futura Bold (1928). “Twist” and “and the” are in two rather generic grotesques, and can be a lot of things. The glyphs at hand are probably not enough to pinpoint the typefaces.

“Honey West in the case of the syndicate of sin.”

Dig a Dead Doll was published as Pyramid Books G560 in 1960. It’s the seventh novel in the Honey West series created by the married couple Gloria and Forest Fickling, writing under the pseudonym G.G. Fickling. Cover art by Robert Maguire. The yellow caps are from Filmotype Portly. Note how they are partly covered by the illustration (see flat depth).
