A three-colored Filmsense forms the centerpiece of the visual identity of Zacharia, “a 1971 American Western musical film directed by George Englund and written by Joe Massot and the four members of the comedy troupe The Firesign Theatre […] The film stars John Rubinstein as Zachariah, and Don Johnson as his friend Matthew, as two gunfighters journeying through the American West.” — Wikipedia. The secondary type on the movie poster is set in a number of slab-serif styles, apparently from Rockwell and Stymie.

The multiline typeface by Push Pin Studios reappears on the cover of the soundtrack album, here in black and white. The artists’ names are in caps from Kabel Black.

The soundtrack includes tracks by a solo Neil Young and Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Kabel Black coincidentally is the signature typeface of The James Gang.
