Bordering on LTypI: Filmotype Quick for Death Race 2000.

In the year 2000 hit and run driving is no longer a felony. It’s the national sport!

The dystopian science fiction action film from 1975 starring David Carradine, Sylvester Stallone, and Simone Griffeth was produced by Roger Corman and directed by Paul Bartel. The poster and the lobby cards shown here were produced by Australian distributor Roadshow.

On the poster, Quick is paired with various gothics. Judging from the small counters, the screened letterforms for David Carradine’s name might be from Quick with the inline filled in.
