The first UK edition of the fifth Dune novel was published by Gollancz in March 1984, with art by Jim Burns.

[Edit: scratch all of what I wrote below – it’s Tribune a.k.a. Triplett, see the comments.]

The typeface is Friz Quadrata Bold, Victor Caruso’s addition for ITC to the original VGC design by Ernst Friz. It’s here used in redrawn form, with small caps and EndcapS, an added contour, and some modifications to the letterforms: arms in E and F were elongated, the lower part of C was shortened, N got a flat base at the bottom right, A lost its top spur, and the top terminal of S is angled in the other direction. This rendition eliminates some of the idiosyncracies, making it more robust.
