This 56th issue of the French cinema magazine La Septième Obsession is dedicated to American filmmaker John McTiernan, with a 100-pages focus on the subject with movies reviews (Die Hard, Predator, etc,), an interview with French film director and screenwriter Arnaud Desplechin, and various thematic essays.

Like in most issues since 2020, texts are set in Lyon and Surt, while titles use an all-caps Grandmaster. The cover title seems to be set in NYC. This typeface is similar to ITC Machine as used for McTiernan’s 1987 movie Predator. There is also a free font called Predator Movie that copies the uppercase of NYC.
