   Compare Karel Vaca’s poster for The Prisoner of Second Avenue from 1977.

   This poster was designed by Dawn Baillie while at Dazu (before she co-founded BLT in 1992). She described the process in a 2021 panel, 50 Movie Posters that Changed Entertainment Marketing:

   We rented a moth from the Natural History Museum. … The font is OPTI BinderStyle, a favorite font of mine at the time. I was really into using the little slashes. As you can see I put little slashes in between everything in the billing. … This was in a time when designers really worked a lot by themselves.
