The text “Bikini Waxx Records,” “BYOB,” “Axe on Wax” and “11 04 17” appears to be Stephenson Blake’s Impact on the sixth image.
Thanks, Jay!
The gum wrap on the first image shows AXE ON WAX in Futura Condensed Bold and ON TOUR in a mechanically-stretched Neue Helvetica.
I found a stretched use of SF Hallucination for the 6th image. With this, I could pass the riddle when I get to it!
Well spotted, Jay! Added.
The third image appears to be using Blackoak or a similar typeface.
Thank you, Bryson!
