Angels Hard As They Come (1971) movie poster
From IMDb:
Sex, violence, and bikers on an action filled ride, in this film produced and co-written by Jonathan Demme.
Angels Hard As They Come is an exploitation film released in 1971 by New World Pictures. Directed by Joe Viola, it starrs Scott Glenn, Charles Dierkop, Gilda Texter, James Iglehart, and Gary Busey. The poster illustration is by Joseph “Joe” Smith. I’m posting it for the typography, which features a rare appearance of Monza.
This typeface series by Lettergraphics is shown in a 1968 catalog in five variants: Monza Casual (with lowercase), Monza Interlock, Monza Biform (with alternates for ‘AEIMNR’), Monza Small Caps, and Monza Smash (non-interlocking caps with bouncing baseline). The variant used here is Monza Interlock, which comes with many alternates. It is similar to Photo-Lettering’s Benguiat Newlock, but has less casual forms including an R and an S that are closer to European grotesks. Additional text is set in Impact and three condensed weights of Venus.
