This Janis Joplin poster, like many concert posters from/inspired by this time period, uses a "psychedelic" font because that seemed to be the trend of the '60s. Unfortunately, like everything else that employs this type of font, it is hard to read right away and often requires using context clues to figure out what each letter is. Some of these letters look like other letters, and in fact, the 'i's and 'y's share the same character as the '1's and '4's with this font. The monochrome is a little boring, too, but at least nothing blends in with anything else.
