Some awesome typo going on in here, found it over at The Ministry of Type. It’s apparently by Puerto Rican artist Lorenzo Homar, there’s a full bio on him at the bottom of the page. Really very nice hand lettered style, The Ministry briefly discusses the possibilities of creating a digital typeface based on the top font up there, let’s hope that happens at some point. The bottom one, although obviously hand lettered, looks familiar…But I can’t put my finger on it. Any ideas?

Gasoline Sans?
Beautiful. Homar is well known in PR, where print making really flourished for a time. Anyone interested should check out “El Cartel en Puerto Rico.” Sadly, it’s hard to get reprints of any of these nowadays.
laura-
close but gasoline is more chiseled and angular. and a lot of the characters are way off (check out the lowercase “r” for example)
looks like Amplitude/Rotis
… or comic sans…
😛
I’m from PR. Lorenzo Homar is amazing. All of his stuff is breathtaking, specially his type, linocuts & poster works. Nice find..
