Saturday matinee, 2 cartoons
The title screen of a 1962 cartoon, Martian Through Georgia, gave Brian J. Bonislawsky the capitals for Risque: irregular, slightly Latin-flavored letters. That screen had capitals only, so the lowercase is his own invention, drawn to move as much as the caps do.
1 style, Western and Central European Latin. Keep it for the fun jobs, a retro poster or an offbeat invitation, where the irregular shapes are the point.
