The Futura-style type used here is likely Spartan which had the ‘1’ with a flat terminal. The title could be Microgramma or Eurostile. The tagline is in Data 70, a 1970 design by Bob Newman in that familiar retro-futuristic MICR-influenced genre occupied by Amelia and Computer. Data 70 was also used for this Hungarian 2001 poster.

  1. I think Microgramma is being used here instead of Eurostile because the latter has a sharper point within the capital A than the former.
