Amenophis – Amenophis album art
Amenophis were a German prog band who in 1983 released their only album in the original line-up. Unlike the rise of neo-prog at the time, this is pure symphonic prog.
The LP was released privately in an edition that cannot have been more than a few thousand copies. It was released on CD in the 1990s.
Besides loving the music, I’ve always loved the lettering of the band name. A bit bold, bit still rounded and not too harsh, the different top and bottom serifs on the S. The slight bend in the N or the P make it almost friendly. The typeface is Letraset’s Bramley.
Hubert Fischer is credited with the cover design, but I feel that is more about the artwork than the lettering. Rosalia Vollmuth (most likely related to bass player Wolfgang Vollmuth) is credited for the idea for the illustration (“Illustrationsidee” in German).
