The typeface in use appears to be Gemini Computer or a predecessor. The origins of this MICR-style design are unknown, but this is the earliest use we’ve documented so far. This exampel differs from later examples of Gemini in various ways: the bottom of the ‘A’ is closed in, the ‘E’ is entirely monolinear, the ‘G’ is simplified, and the numerals have unique shapes. Perhaps these are customizations by Grignani (he flipped the ‘N’ in “IN”) but these forms do appear in other publications of the day, such as 1965’s The New Improved American (Delta edition).

Anyone know if this playboi got digitized ???????
See the typeface page: Auto Mission is a digital revival. This freebie comes with a limited character set, though.
