“He’s got a sword and two girlfriends” — @Coochiebone
Ad by the Lorillard Tobacco Company for the Newport brand of menthol cigarettes, featuring two very similar typefaces: Cooper Black for the big text at the top, and Goudy Heavyface for “After all, if smoking isn’t a pleasure, why bother?”. Both are used in unidentified swash italics versions. The former is similar to a phototype version named Cooper Black Italic Flair, but exhibits a number of differences. The latter isn’t identical with Goudy Fancy.
