Zebra in bichromatic use on the cover of an undated record with jazzy easy listening tunes, released by Coronet Records probably sometime in the late 1960s.

Designed by Karlgeorg Hoefer and first cast by the Stempel foundry in Germany in 1965, Zebra’s letterforms are composed of solid and hatched strokes. The bold wide script was revived by Colin Kahn as a set of fonts that can be layered for chromatic effect, and released by IHOF in 2007.

The orchestra’s name is in Lydian Cursive, and the track list in caps from Akzidenz-Grotesk extra.
