Aug 13, 2021 at 21:28  [reply]  What is the name of this font ?

The Criterion reissue in 2020 included a bonus disc with plenty of text set in the Jarmusch font. For example, here is one that discusses RZA, who composed the soundtrack.

I couldn't find a close substitute but I trust that among the vast number of handwriting fonts at least one of them might work as an approximation.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

Did not find an exact match.
Times Now ExtraLight is similar.

The titles were designed by Balsmeyer & Everett Inc. The titles are set in a custom font based on Jim Jarmusch’s handwriting.

Custom numbers for the barcode.
Looks like it's based on an old metal typeface, Ludlow Tempo Medium of 1930.

Serifs added to _1_, _2_, _4_ and _7_. More curve in _6_ and _9_.
Not digitized except for an unsatisfactory Grunge version by Steve Jackaman

Suggested font: Tempo

Agree there does not seem to be a digital version.
Closest for most letters might be a Garamond, such as Bitstream's Elegant Garamond. But serifs are not as pronounced. _P_ has a gap and _C_ lacks the serifs. Similar _C_ found in Baskerville and Bodoni.

Suggested font: Elegant Garamond

PUSH looks like the letters below, but with width expanded about 200%.
They seem to match Six Caps by Vernon Adams:

Christian Robertson is now a designer for Google -- notably Roboto.
He has published some pro versions of his fonts on My Fonts.
Possibly he will do this with Calla Titling.

Duh. You altered your post before I finished writing my response.

Sorry didn't mean to jostle you. But I kept digging and the answer popped up.

Bayside, sold as part of the Hoefler Numbers set.

According to Hoefler: Bayside is an adaptation of those delightfully eccentric house numbers that are native to suburban America. Their bizarre forms recall the “chinoiserie” of the Aesthetic Movement, a nineteenth century fashion whose romance with foreign influences wasn’t especially concerned with historical accuracy. Bayside’s forms are based on a set of numbers produced around 1928 by H. W. Knight & Son of Seneca Falls, New York. Widely copied by other manufacturers, these forms have gradually softened over the years; Bayside restores them to their loopy grandeur.

Your numbers are a later version and show minor differences from Bayside.

Suggested font: Bayside

These were common in the US and Canada around 60 years ago. Here is a full set.

The _1_ can be used with the top and bottom reversed.
AFAIK they have not been made into a font.

Presumably address numbers. The curved thick to thin strokes are similar to "wonton" fake Chinese, such as Sudoku here at Dafont.

Suggested font: Sudoku

Looks like the 1960s psychedelic poster lettering of Californian artist Rick Griffin.
It inspired the font Rick Griffin.
