On Wings of Song is a science fiction novel written by Thomas M. Disch (1940–2008). First published as a serial in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction in three installments in early 1979, it was published in hardback by St. Martin’s Press in August 1979. This is Bantam’s paperback edition from a year later, with cover art by Lou Feck.
The typographer at Bantam arranged title and author’s name in three lines of Gonzales Flair. The display typeface by Francisco Gonzales with the characteristic long shade is featured with some of its curly glyphs (C G S) as well as two of its extending swash forms (for W and A). Secondary text is set in all-caps ITC Clearface.
