Classic Bossa Nova is a 1965 instrumental easy-listening LP from Marty Gold.

The artist name and title are strikingly set in lowercase Futura Heavy, with very tight letter- and line-spacing that has the characters touching both horizontally and vertically. The subtitle “The World’s Great Classic Melodies Blended With The New Beat” is set in all-caps Futura Book.

The back cover is set mainly in Trade Gothic, including Trade Gothic Oblique for the liner notes, with the heading in Futura Bold.
