About the lettering
The poster sets OPPENHEIMER in all caps above the burning mushroom-cloud imagery, using Gotham Bold's authority but stretched wide: the tracking is opened up to more than double the normal spacing, which turns a familiar corporate sans into something ceremonial and ominous. Everything else on the poster steps back so that single spaced-out word does the work.
