1 Comment on “Algorithms & Data Structures by Niklaus Wirth”
This cover isn’t really part of a series design. And yet there are elements that also appear on other books published by Prentice-Hall around the time.
First and foremost, ITC Benguiat Gothic was a frequent type choice. In addition to the covers posted to the Collection, this typeface was also used for Perceptual and Motor Development (1983, design by Ray Lundgren) and Applications of Analog Integrated Circuits (1985, Lundgren Graphics).
Theory Testing in Organizational Behavior. The Varient Approach (1984, Lundgren Graphics) additionally has the stacked and staggered lines with lowered initial caps as seen on the Wirth book. This kind of typography was also used Decision Support Systems (1989, Wanda Lubelska Design), albeit with a different typeface, ITC Slimbach Bold.
