Heavy.
In Phil’s “Homage to the Alphabet” 1980 catalog there is a typeface called Umbra No. 57 which matches all the letters on this cover except the apostrophe (which may be something the album art designers made on their own to squeeze in more big type).
Unfortunately the Phil’s catalog offers no other info and the names therein are not always the same as the original designs, but it’s one step closer to knowing this type, I suppose.
I’ll upload the specimen shortly.
Is it possible to upload this specimen of Umbra No. 57?
Thanks.
Better late than never …
This is indeed Umbra 27 [sic!], designed by Karl-Heinz Domning for Berthold Fototypes in 1972. I’ve changed the typeface ID. Here’s a sample:
How do I get this font ?
Hi Lilian, up to this moment, Umbra 27 is not available as a digital typeface. You could have a look at one of its “Related typefaces” (and their related typefaces) to find a digitally available typeface with a similar look and feel.
