A shaded Tuscan and a futuristic sans, paired on a tape cassette insert by King Sonic, probably from the mid-1970s or 1980s. The former was available from Letraset as Quentin, and from Mecanorma as Gay Nineties. The latter is Churchward Design, which was also carried by Mecanorma as Churchward Galaxy. Franklin Gothic Extra Condensed – likewise included in the catalog of the French manufacturer of rub-down type – is used for the smaller “King Sonic” on the spine. The small print is set in the IBM Selectric version of Univers.

According to 45spaces, King Sonic was a brand from Hong Kong.
