An album of romantic folk music in the Pacific style, arranged and produced by Teo Macero (1925–2008) and released by Epic Records in 1963. Photography by William M. Graham. The cover typography brings a rogue wave of Cooper Black, in italic and roman styles. While the swash G, P, and T were included in ATF’s metal fonts, H and K are later inventions added in a film version. The apostrophe is a custom addition and doesn’t really blend in with the letterforms.
