There are two typefaces in this poster. I think the red type is distorted Helvetica because it is supossed to be "bad" typography. I say I think it is distorted because it seems to match up with regular Helvetica but is condensed and not kerned very well in places. I have done my best with identifying the second typeface in white... I keep getting Monotype Baskerville for an answer but I know it is not because the capital R's have completely different feet on them. The type in the poster shows a foot that is curved and pointing up at a 45 degree angle while Baskerville has a straight flat foot on the capital R. Also, I noticed that the counters in the capital O's are different because in Baskerville the counter is closer to a perfect circle while the unknown face is more elongated vertically. If anyone knows the name of this second typeface please let me know because I like it a lot.
I think it's Bodoni, actually.
