Ai created posters look like they were created by the same designer to me. I instantly recognize the two sereif and sans serif condensed typefaces first. The overall design typically lacks a focal point. There is usually a great amount of clutter vs a visual hierarchy.

A thorough and almost exhaustive history of the Gorton font. by Marcin Wichary. Typewriters and engravers have used it for over a century. Looks as though the first time it is used is in 1895 in a hand lettering book.

“Gorton wasn’t just on computer keyboards, intercom placards, and sidewalk messages visited by many shoes. Gorton was there on typewriter keyboards, too. And on office signs and airline name tags. On boats, desk placards, rulers, and various home devices from fridges to tape dispensers.”

“Gorton’s longevity must have felt attractive. Ink smudges. Paint fades away. Paper can catch fire (quickly) or germs (slowly). Carve something into plastic, on the other hand, and it can survive decades. Substitute plastic for metal, and you just turned decades into centuries. The text is not added atop heavy-duty material. The text is the material.”
