See also the 2013 Modern Library Edition (in Didoni, a Pistilli follower), as well as the Capote movie poster.
Peter Bain comments via email:
The finer details of the letterforms certainly suggest as much. This method – lettering that’s more or less closely patterned after a typeface – appears to have been a common modus operandi for Fujita, see e.g. his jacket design for Future Shock featuring a redrawn Amelia. I have added our “lettering derived from typeface” tag.
On the title page, author’s name in Baskerville Old Face ?
I would think so! Nick had tagged our generic Baskerville. This is an old post; maybe we didn’t have a dedicated page for Baskerville Old Face yet back in 2014. Adjusted now.
