Dust jacket for the first edition of Ian Fleming’s debut novel Casino Royale, devised by the author himself. The titling is likely illustrated, but based on Fry’s Ornamented. The title on the spine of jacket and hardcover is closer to the typeface’s original letterforms, see S. Text on the jacket is set predominantly in what looks to be Times New Roman. Title page text set in Bell.
