Likely NewCompact, an early Mac Type 1 Postscript family of 4 fonts (with additional extended and oblique versions) created by David C. Saunders in April, 1989. A TrueType version from 1992 is still floating around the web - most likely a slightly altered clone as it includes an Altsys Metamorphosis tag and no author credit to David C. Saunders. The VHS has a copyright of 1990, so I would guess it was designed using the original Mac Type 1 version.

There's also Mustang Sans, a Spice Girls accurate recreation which features the wider E, F and L as well as more accurate numerals and punctuation.

I believe the original titling may have been hand-lettered, perhaps inspired by Permanent Massiv (1967) or a widened Compacta Bold (1963). Compacta Black was not released until 1976, which rules it out despite seeming a closer fit. Permanent Headline (1964) was used for the "THIS MAN IS JAMES BOND" copy on the YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE 2-Sheet Advance Movie Poster, which may support the notion of Permanent Massiv as the original inspiration.

The original typeface is Matrix II Wide. 007 GoldenEye is a knockoff inspired by the logo.

Identified font: Century Gothic



I believe the book titles and James Bond branding are custom type treatments, probably hand drawn as needed. If you look at the entire series of Gardner US hardcovers you will see a number of inconsistencies between the letterforms, particularly the B's, C's and S's. A close substitute may be Silverado by Red Rooster, previously a pre-digital typeface called Eldorado by Les Usherwood. Silverado Extra Bold and Extra Bold Condensed would look quite similar with a few tweaks. The rest of the type is set in Kabel Heavy.

Suggested font: Kabel Heavy



IAN FLEMING'S script looks hand drawn as the n's don't match. JAMES BOND is set in pre-digital Othello, with the A being made from a rotated V.

The STAR WARS logo on this poster was likely custom. A very similar logo also appears on the 1977 paperback edition of STAR TRIAL by Irving A. Greenfield. It's possible the letterforms are based upon Jay Gothic, a 1965 typeface that was also used for the titles in the original 1966-69 STAR TREK series.

Suggested font: Jay Gothic

It is Jay Gothic Bold designed by Jay Schecter. Available from Visual Graphics Corporation since 1965 it originally included the alternate 'R' seen in your sample.
