Really? I thought it was just since TFA, which like I said in the other Disney+ thread (and when TFA art first appeared) just looks like Evil Dead II to me. A weird bug but I can’t shake it.
In 1977 they just used a lighter weight version of the font (ITC Serif Gothic) for the credits at the bottom of the posters as well as for the “a long time ago…” tagline. The font was heavily used in the 70’s so it may look dated to some. It was also used on the first few Star Trek movie posters and in the opening credits and logo for Halloween.
