I tried to emulate the original tagline as well as I could using the ITC Serif Regular font, with -75 negative tracking for that typical 70s ‘tight but not touching' look. I applied -125 negative kerning to neatly tuck the elipsis underneath the arm of the ‘y', and added +35 to the right side of the ‘t' to detach it from the ‘i'. Yet this could only get me so far. Several characters are different – the Elsner+Flake family is the only one to have the correct ‘t' with a tail, but no digital version features the double-storey ‘a', the ‘e' with slanted crossbar, nor the ‘f' with elongated tail. Because most ITC fonts from that era were display faces, they were decked out with numerous alternate glyphs for maximum versatility. This allowed designers to fine-tune the lock-up until it was just right. Sadly almost none of those extras made it to digital. It is about time someone revisited ITC's advertising classics and restored them to their original glory.
