Looking for the font used for the tile on this "Ocean's Eleven" poster

Featured Replies

What is the font used for the tile on this Ocean's Eleven poster? It's some form of Helvetica or similar, but I'm not finding quite the right match. Helvetica Inserat is the closest I looked at but not the one. I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

The cover for the soundtrack uses Impact with a different font for the apostrophe, as presumably they couldn't figure it out either, lol.

Thank you! I swore I had tried that and it wasn't correct, but sure enough I compared it again with the same font and it matches. I'm guessing it's because they used something else for the apostrophe and I had just written it off because of that.

I realized after posting this that both examples have the correct apostrophe and the editing software I was using to compare will only generate single quotation marks with the apostrophe key. So it was 100% me and my setup. But all of this made me aware of this fact (which I probably should have figured out a little earlier, lol), so many thanks!

And sharper.

You're right—the left side of the tail is still curved on the poster, but they squared off/straightened the right side.
