The white text reading “HUGO AWARD WINNER” appears to be Paul Renner’s Futura Condensed (Bauer, 1930.)
Thanks, Jay. Futura Extrabold Condensed comes close indeed. It’s not a match, though, see the top terminal of G or the center of W.
Looked it up: It’s Airport Black Condensed Title by Baltotype, ca. 1943. While most of their Airport series is a copy of Futura, this style was an original addition. It preceded Futura Extrabold Condensed, which was not part of Bauer’s series, but originated at Intertype, just like Futura Extra Bold (1952).
Oh, right.
