Helmut Newton & Playboy fonts

Virginie Delannoy

Hey guys !

Can you ID the two fonts of this H. Newton @ Playboy book cover ? I’m not sure…

The Playboy looks like Stymie Extra Bold

It’s kind of small to tell for sure, but I think “HELMUT NEWTON” is News Gothic.

I think Stymie is right, too, but the A has been modified. I don’t think there is a font that is as close a match that doesn’t have an A with a serif on top.

the “L”’s top serif is a bit extended as well vs stymie, but could be easily modified to match.

Thx a lot guys !!!! Mwah !

I’m intrigued by the “B” also though the bubbly shape…

I would say that the helmut newton is transit.
