Does anyone know which typeface is used for this Andy Warhol poster for Moderna Museet?

I did that too — but it's not Normande which is used for that poster (look at the "b"), although they look quite similar :)

Maybe Falstaff: http://www.fontshop.com/fonts/singles/monotype/falstaff_std/

Spot on. Looks like Falstaff.

Thanks!
