A poster for the New York 1927 Machine-Age Exposition. While much of the typography is set in gothics such as Gothic No. 578 (for “119 West”), Gothic No. 122 (for “New York”, cf. the R in the 24 pt size) and what appears to be ATF’s No. 545 (see Lining Gothic), Gothic No. 545, Cooper Black is used for “Exposition”. “Machine-Age” is in an unidentified crude grot.

Font Review Journal shows this poster in its review of the Cooper family.
