These posters were designed by Zdeněk Vlach for a 1989 Czechoslovak release of the 1976 King Kong film directed by John Guillermin. The title type is Reklameschrift Herold, which we’ve seen in use for creepy purposes before, in Hellbore magazine.

Vlach (1942–1999) studied at the Art School in Prague, but didn’t graduate. He nevertheless embarked on a career as graphic artist, illustrator, and film and set designer. Between 1970 and 1989, he created 203 movie posters. [ART+]

The small print on this DIN A4 mini poster combines the bold weight of Universal Grotesk for John Guillermin’s name with Super-Grotesk.
