"angry young computer" seems to be a grotesque. The 1985 Phil's Photo "Homage to the Alphabet" book shows something called California Grotesque which is similar in feel, but not the details of the descenders (the g is the wrong kind, and the y tail isn't as upturned). Grotesque No.9 shows some of these features, but the weight isn't right. Fielder Gothic Bold shows one surviving member of what was a large family with varying widths and details in the days of phototypes.

In the 60's phototypes were widely used, and gothics/grotesques came in every imaginable variation or weight, widths and letterform feature (r curve, g tail, a tail, y tail, c closure). That means that finding the same typeface in digital font format is probably unlikely. You can search using grotesque or gothic condensed and find many of today's equivalent styles.

It looks like Square Grotesk, a display phototype family by Techni-Process of New York from the 1960s. My understanding is that California Grotesk was a derivative. The alternate l/c "g" looks to be a custom variation, I would have to pull the original film out of storage to check. Not digitized.

Here's a page from the specimen book

The Burroughs Corporation mark looks custom drawn.

wow.

thanks!

i love the l/c g in the burroughs poster, and the overall look of the rest.

it would be great if it was digitized...

thanks again!

Just use some handy-dandy interpolating software to synthesize a mix between Bureau Grot and House Gothic 23, et voila!

Well gosh darn it I have to go rename another font I'm working on.
It's up in the critique-sans serif section of the forums. Should be obvious which one I'm talking about.
