Hollywood Sings? As Impersonated by Guy Marks is an album by Guy Marks, released in 1966 by ABC-Paramount Records. As the title suggests, the album consists of Guy Marks’ interpretations of various songs from numerous popular Hollywood films.

The main typeface is Filmotype Pioneer, a condensed interpretation of Ad Lib from Filmotype. Guy Marks’ name is likewise set in another Ad Lib derivative: the extended Filmotype Moose. Both faces are distinguished from the metal type original by a number of shared differences in the details, especially the angled strokes in letters that originally had straight ones. Accompanying them are caps from Robert H. Middleton’s Tempo Medium and an italic style of Futura.
