Font - Le hussard sur le toit

Tristan Isaac

Hi everybody,

Please does anyone know the name of the typefaces used on this poster of the french movie "Le hussard sur le toit" ?

I will be grateful for any help you can provide,

Tristan

Font: 
OCR-B, Bodoni

Please try and crop your image. It's really difficult to see the letters together.

Thank you for having resized the picture. Nobody knows about the font ?

HUSSARD Didot many sellers, including Linotype http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/didot/
No surprise at the choice of this font for a French Movie.

As for the sans, the match should be easy but I didn't see it. I ran across problems similar to those encountered in http://typophile.com/node/115128. The serifed I on a sans font is relatively rare. The following fonts have it, together with a matching G: Lettera, FF Fago, Elsa, ITC Officina Sans, Droid Sans, FF Info, FS Albert, Ubik, and FS Me. However every one of these fonts has mismatches for other letters. Perhaps the closest of this lot is FS Me http://www.identifont.com/find?font=FS+Me&q=Go It's the only one with the right style of Q.
Anyone else prepared to take a stab at this?

The sans looks like OCR B

And the words "SUR" and "TOIT" could also be Bodoni

Congratulations Michael! I can find no letter conflicts between the poster and OCR B. Nor, for that matter, between it and Bodoni.

I could find no exact match for HUSSARD, in particular because of the S lower serif

Don't worry about this font. Il will use the Bodoni. Thank you all.
