what the font "easy rider"? Thank you

Blaster  Suggeriti da conman1985 

Asked many times in several font ID forums.
Seems no one found a match.
In my opinion this is lettering.

Possibly based on LogoStyle (Roc Mitchell) or a condensed extra bold italic version of it. Not much info on it as a typeface but the letterforms are similar, aside from the Y which may have been changed for legibility. Was officially digitized in 1999 by Roc Mitchell Design and earlier in 1991 by Castcraft Inc. as OPTI Limited View (based on a Dan X. Solo sample). Roc developed several fonts at Alphabet Innovations - established in 1969, the same year as the film was released. Again, just a possibility. Could just as easily have been completely custom type for the film poster. It would be interesting to see if a type sample matching Easy Rider's could be found outside of the film's marketing materials. Then we'd have a stronger indication for an actual typeface rather than custom logotype for the poster.

Possible evolution - minimal manipulation:


Sample character set (Likely Incomplete):

Also similar, with a little imagination - Blaster (dustBUST). Flip the 6's for E's and the 9's for A's. Raise the I and D. Fashion Y from a 9.

Obviously not the original typeface though.

Roc Mitchell's LogoStyle is really interesting for it's similarities.

Good presentation of a morph between the font and Easy Rider's letters.

Don't know whether LogoStyle or Easy Rider came first but the set of common features is impressive, including the curves on the inside of strokes and the design of _e_, _e_ and _s_

Unfortunately the Roc Mitchell digitization of 1999 does not seem to be available from any legitimate source.
The OPTI digitization is now an orphan font, i.e. it is not available from a source with authorization from the owners of the Castcraft intellectual property rights to the font. For this reason I do not link to locations where OPTI fonts are offered

Roc Mitchell digitization of 1999 was once available.
