Font used on the poster

Does anybody know the name of the funky blocky font used on the main Shaft poster? Or better still, where to download it?

I'd also be interested in knowing the bubble font used for credits for many of the blaxploitation films like uptown saturday night and car wash.

I have something like it on my computer: "DIMITRI" and "DIMITRI SWANK" (which has the "shadow" added). That might help you locate it in an online search.

I vote to officially change dimitri to Shaftfly, Supershaft or Afrobodacious.
