Carl Holmes, in his fantastic book on old lettering designs, commemorates this distinctively American style. Faintly reminiscent of the lettering of Fred G. Cooper, California Poster Bold is at times wildly exaggerated and boisterous. Letters appear to be inflated and loopy. The design might aptly be referred to as a type of rollicking Cooper Black (Oswald Bruce Cooper).
An extensive series of alternates and figures has been supplied for your convenience.
