Looking for a non-Cooper early 1970s-style typeface to use as display type in a smart, non-ironic-because-it’s-a-retro-piece sort of way. Any help is appreciated.

Early 70s type
Franklin Gothic Condensed is very ’70s advertising’ without being kitch or retro in an obvious way. Certainly smart but maybe too subtle? Bernhard Condensed would probably work as a serif version of the same theme.
Futura Extra Bold Condensed. THE advertising typeface of the 70s and 80s.

Franklin Gothic/Futura Extra Bold all caps, Caslon Bold, and is that Korinna Bold all caps?
Chalet. ITC Garamond. Futura Bold. ITC Avant Garde. ITC Whatever.

Long before there was Chalet there was Brazilia:
