Greetings,
Here’s another poster from Aesthetic Apparatus, and I’m wondering if anyone knows the font used in SWELL.

Is this an off-the-shelf outline or custom-created?

Thanks, as always!

I reckon this is custom, based on Block Gothic Extra Condensed.

This is similar (but not identical to) ’Graphique’ - found in R.S. Hutchings Manual of Decorated Typefaces, 1965

Graphique is available digitally from Ari Rafaeli. I
t may be as close as you can get in a font.

A little more legwork and I think this font is actually Los Alamos Pro.

Cheers.
