Good eye Humuhumu, this is a tough one. I do think that Chicago is an odd choice for someone doing a retro knock-off piece though. But your call of Freestyle looks pretty on. Still, many current faces are based on vintage hand-tooled or hand-lettered forms. Is it possible that this piece uses some original faces which resemble the modern Freestyle and Chicago? Does someone have some other Tiki Gardens ephemera that might have type examples to compare to? Aloha, :tiki:
