Anybody knows what font is that one represented in this late 60's cuban poster?

thanks

Which one (as there are 3 elements of text)?
Although I presume you mean the big "26", right?

I do that all the time. I was sure this typeface started with a C. After a while all the names start to blend together, or maybe that's just my problem.

The non-Bitstream name for this is 'Profil' by Eugen & Max Lenz (1946), so this has been around a long time (it's two years younger than I am :-( )

Tiff, you meant Vineta. It's not slanted, includes a lowercase and
has no negative outline, but looks very similar to the untrained eye...
