Pyramid’s paperback edition (1976) of The Starcrossed (1975) by Ben Bova (*1932), with cover art by Vincent Di Fate (*1945). The typeface is Circo, a narrow bottom-heavy Italienne by Czech designer Jan Solpera (*1939). It was released by Berthold Fototypes in 1971 and copied by Lettergraphics as Cirque. Flying Circus (Harold’s Fonts, 2017) is a digital revival.
