Newsies The Musical is a Broadway musical based on the real-life newsboy strike of 1899 in New York City. It features a cast of young newsboys who band together to fight against unfair working conditions and wage cuts imposed by newspaper publishers.
The original Broadway poster for Newsies The Musical features the title in American Typewriter Bold Condensed, a slab serif typeface created in 1974 by Joel Kaden and Tony Stan. On the other hand, the 1992 film poster displays the title in Kabel Ultra, a geometric sans serif by Rudolf Koch.
