Pacella Latina with several of its swash forms is used on the cover of the 1968 re-release of Louis Armstrong’s Hello Dolly. This face was designed by Vincent Pacella, probably around 1965, and available from Photo-Lettering, Inc. This record cover shows its ‘10’ weight, which came with Swash and Biform variants.

I think that album was originally from 1965 according to Both Sides Now Discography when I entered the Kapp Album Discography, Part 4 where it dates between 1963–1964
Discogs dates the album to 1964 and the reissue with this cover design to 1968.
Both Sides Now dates the album to March 1964 and the second cover to 1965.
It’s entirely possible that the shown cover design is from 1965. We’ve already established that Pacella Latina was around by that year. I have adjusted the artwork date accordingly. In order to corroborate the claim, finding a dated ad with an image of the cover is a good way. I’ve looked around, but didn’t find such a thing.
