Sorry can't help... but this is very charming and i'd like to know what this is. Even though my gut tells me that this might not be available digitally.
This shows up in the old Phil's Photo book as 'Information', and it looks like the font shown in the '98 Big Yellow (FontBook) as Information BQ Bold Extended. I can't find it being sold anywhere, so apparently Berthold dropped it, or re-named it.
Well, isn't 1968 long ago enough to be considered 'old'? That's pre-digital (at least in terms of present technology fonts). Geez, I was 24 when 'Bullitt' was new, so THAT's OLD by my book!
My favorite Woody Allen quote is from "Sleeper" when he said, "I should have known something was wrong when I found a parking place right in front of the Hospital!"

Sorry I don't recognize it. But I have to say, it has a lot of similarities to Antique Olive Nord.

Bullitt is "old"?
Oh dear.

Mike,
You are about my age? Poor old guy, I thought you were a mere lad of 40 or so :-)

Chris, congratulations. We have accomplished something that fits in with one of my favorite quotes:
"The key to wiseness is maturiositude." -- Woody Allen, in 'Play It Again Sam'

This is an old film font called Information. I don't know of any digital version.

Oops, I see Mike got it already two days ago. That's what happens when I skim too quickly. D'oh!
