Modern Temperament (Oliver Klimpel and Till Sperrle) developed a new concept for the paperback reissue of all novels and travel writings by Swiss author Christian Kracht at the German publisher Fischer Taschenbuch.

The book series prominently features a bespoke typeface designed by Aurelia Markwalder, with art direction from Modern Temperament. New Asmyth references a typeface design by G. Evans, originally issued by Mecanorma as Asmyth in 1981.

The new cover designs feature the old emblem of the Frankfurt-based publishing house, created by Wolf Dieter Zimmermann.

From Wikipedia:

Felt were an English indie pop band, formed in 1979 in Water Orton, Warwickshire, and led by Lawrence Hayward. They were active for ten years through the 1980s, releasing ten singles and ten albums. The band’s name was inspired by Tom Verlaine's emphasis of the word “felt” in the Television song “Venus”.

The single cover shows a double portrait of the eponymous Penelope Tree, an English former fashion model, prominent in the “Swinging London” era. The typeface is Asmyth. Designed by G. Evans, it was released in a single light weight by Mecanorma in circa 1981.
