Late '60s. I think this is drawn, but looks like it's based on a typeface. Does anyone know what it is?
The designer is Bob Schnepf. The reasson why I'm thinking it could be based on a typeface is the consistency of the letters, but also because I have a vague memory of a similar art nouveau styled typeface. Especially the letter A. I grew up with psych rock posters on the wall so maybe it's just one of his posters I remember. Freddy has some similarities. Here is a better view of the poster: https://www.pbagalleries.com/images/lot/1701/170125_0.jpg Here is another poster he did with similar type: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UThaGWlo3I8/UXTu2gCxgJI/AAAAAAAAejw/0RQMngiWai4/s1600/89+March+29-31+1968+Artist+Bob+Schnepf.+Jerry+Steig+&+the+Satyrs,+Sons+Of+Champlin,+Alex+Anders+Timeless+Bloozband+at+Avalon+Ballroom,+SF.jpg Read more about the SF Oracle here:
Ahh, Oracle, yes. Here's this issue in its entirety in the recently launched Letterform Archive site. I’m sorry, but I think this is just Schnepf’s own model, not based on a typeface.
Not an exact match, but K-Type has created an homage typeface based on Mr. Griffin’s lettering.
Scriptorum’s Bad Acid typeface seems to be another, though uncredited.
Another similar—Display Art Three.
