Bernase / Hawthorn / De Vinne

Question

The attached Flyer is for a punk concert from 1981.
I have searched the used font for "Jugendhaus" for a long time, now i found it in a german type catalog.
It is Popcorn from a company called Stulle in Stuttgart.
Right now i am searching the font used in the subtitle
Sindelfingen
Leonberger Straße 2
It is similar to ITC Bernase Roman and Hawthorn and also to Basta from GST, but none of them seems to be a match.
Notice the angled e. 
Would be happy for any other ideas.
Unfortunately i have no better source than the one i've attached here.
Thanks for helping out.

Hi,

I would argue it’s indeed GST Basta. It comes with an alternate angled e (I assume you have a specimen that shows the alternates, but let me know if not). GST fonts were carried by Stulle, so this makes it a likely candidate to appear alongside Popcorn. Also, the ß – which is quite special – seems to match. I do see things that look like small differences when comparing the flyer text to Basta, but I’d blame them on the small size and poor quality of the reproduction (for example, the g’s ear in the first line looks straight, while the one in the second line clearly has a lachrymal terminal).

Thanks for you reply Florian, much appreciated
I had the very same thoughts, but in my printed specimen of Basta are no alternates, also not in the digital font files
The r at the end of Leonberger has no round terminal, as far as i can see that
So i have doubts that the subtitle was set with Basta

The original display-oriented Basta that was started in 1972 has little in common with the text-optimized version from around 1978. The digital Basta is based on the latter.

 

Shown below is a glyph set for one of the bolder weights of the original Basta. I have to correct myself: there are alternates, but the angled e is not one of them. It’s rather the only included form.

 

As for the r: the other two r’s do have a round terminal. I’d argue it’s more likely that the terminal was simply clipped off while cutting and pasting the pieces of text, than a scenario where the designer used an alternate for one out of three r’s. Look at the big 4 in the date – that’s pretty mangled, too.

that was the missing link, i never thought about the different display/headline version of Basta
but now it is clear
thanks a lot for your help Florian
