“The artwork, done by Peter Saville, is based on a poster by Italian Futurist Fortunato Depero for the 1932 exposition Futurismo Trentino. Saville adapted it so that the ‘F’ stands for Factory and the ‘L’ (Roman numeral) for 50. The album colour in the UK was blue with blue artwork, while in the US it was white with burgundy artwork.” — Discogs

One of my all-time favorite album covers. I also love the carelessness of a band accused of being neo-Fascist because of their name having a Futurism-inspired cover on their first LP. Glad to finally know what typeface Saville used!
The first image shows Kabel Black on the cassette.
Correct! That fact is mentioned in the caption, but that’s admittedly easy to miss, and it wasn’t listed under Typefaces. Now it is – thanks!
Also, the cassette cover wasn’t supposed to be the first image, as it is more of an addendum. Several years ago, we experienced a bug that messed up the order of images for some posts. I believe this is one the affected posts that never got fixed … until today.
