Hi all.
Not sure if this is the right forum...but
I am looking for a font that says '1970's Beach Culture', or if Beach Culture is too specific then just 1970's.
Can anyone suggest a font that encapsulates the spirit of that time (and place)?
Many thanks.
Nothing says '70s beach culture to me like Cooper Black:

House Industries has several likely candidates in their Street Van collection:

Or you might take a common face from the era, and add "flair," as Phil Martin used to back in the day. Scroll down a little to check out this great interview (with samples) by Mark Simonson:
