First single from Holger Czukay’s solo debut album Movies (1979), here spelled “CooL IN THE PooL”, with “Oh Lord Give Us More Money” as B-side.
The typeface is the rarely seen Quirinale, designed by H. Baumgart (Helmut Baumgart?) for Haas in 1970. It was probably only available in the dry-transfer version sold by Mecanorma. Quirinale may have been the last typeface design that originated at the Haas’sche Schriftgießerei (apart from a few Helvetica extensions issued in the early 1970s), marking the end of 400 years of history.
