Visual artist James Jean 簡明 created the cover artwork for JJ Lin’s 20th anniversary album Happily, Painfully After. But I can’t say for sure that James also set the type. Discogs credits him with the album’s art direction and Yang Shi Ching 楊士慶 with the design.
The Chinese is set in Adobe’s Source Han Sans, specifically the Taiwan Traditional Chinese version. The English is set in DJR’s Megascope.
In particular, Megascope was expanded into several weights in the March 2023 installment of the Font of the Month Club. And shortly after, the album was revealed in early April 2023, which uses two weights of Megascope. A much heavier weight of Megascope was used in an ad campaign to the world live premiere of Happily, Painfully After.
