"Have you taken a good look at your face lately?"

"You can always count on Les to put a little punch in your face."

Filmcomposition was an English phototypesetter and supplier of Typsettra fonts. Typsettra was something like the ITC of Canada, recreating classic typefaces in 1970s fashion, with large x-heights and ultra tight spacing. "Les", as mentioned in the ad above, refers to Les Usherwood, who founded Typsettra and designed many of its typefaces.

It's not clear who designedWorcester Round, however. MyFonts credits it to Adrian Williams in 1974. The date of this ad is unknown.
