License: All Rights Reserved.

Roxette’s first greatest hits album, named Don’t Bore UsGet to the Chorus! from a quote by US manager Herbie Herbert. The reason all the titles are shown on the sleeve is that, according to rumor, everyone knew their songs, but no one knew they were by Roxette. Four unreleased tracks were added to this compilation. Released on CD, LP, cassette, LD, VHS and video CD.

The font is Corporate S, used exclusively in lowercase; with alternating colors for words, lines, and glyphs; some considerable horizontal stretching; and acute accents instead of apostrophes.

    Guys, i’m doing some tests and corporate s is not matching with the album title… i found a similar named rolphie 05 but, then again it is not quite right either… can anyone help?

  2. To me, Corporate S does look like a match. Shown below is a comparison. At the bottom, a resetting using the Demi weight stretched to 122% of the width, with negative tracking.

    I must be doing something wrong… doing some tests on “my fonts” and i just can’t find a pair… all the apostrophes doesn’t match…

  4. Oh, that’s because the album designer didn’t use proper apostrophes! It’s rather acute accents, as mentioned in the description text ;-)
