Patrick Wolf – Lycanthropy album art

A friend on the socials dropped this retrospective on Wolf’s 2003 album into my timeline, and I find the cover quite striking. With Wolf about to play hula-hoop in what looks to be a typical English market.
The text is rotated and set to the edges like columns framing the portrait: “Patrick Wolf” opposing “Lycanthropy” (wolf, lycanthropy, geddit?).
The font used both on the front cover and for the tracking listing on the back is Arboret No. 2. This ornamented all-caps face was designed by Herman Ihlenburg and patented in 1885. Soap Box Shaded is similar, minus the leaf decorations.
