In his now classic ScreenFonts column, Bald Condensed notes that Oddopolis’ posters for All This Panic from 2016 use a curious Phosphor with its inline removed. I guess the designer really wanted that ‘S’.
The designers didn’t have to remove the inline themselves: Phosphate, Steve Jackaman’s version of Phosphor, comes with a ready-to-use solid style. (So does CastleType’s Zamenhof, but that interpretation has different lettershapes.)
By the way, here is a comparison of the original metal Phosphor and Erbar-Grotesk fett, the boldest weight of the plain Erbar-Grotesk family. Phosphor is considerably heavier and has smaller counters. Interestingly, the outlined Lumina appears to be derived from Phosphor, while the negative Lucina is closer to Erbar-Grotesk in the details.
Phosphate Solid is a Mac system font, which I imagine is where the poster’s designer got it from.
That oddly leaves Macs with two very good inlines added recently: Phosphate and Journal Sans New Inline (which is hidden, although you can force it to display if you want to use it).
