Digital cover for the album Hot Sauce

From Wikipedia:

Hot Sauce is the first studio album by South Korean boy band NCT Dream, the third sub-unit of the South Korean boy band NCT. It was released on May 10, 2021, through SM Entertainment. Following their previous EP, Reload, this album marks NCT Dream’s first release to feature back as a seven-member unit following the return of Mark from the termination of the age-based graduation system that was operated in the group.

It consists of ten tracks, with its lead single “Hot Sauce” serving as the album’s title track. The album exceeded more than 1.71 million copies in pre-orders, setting a new record as SM Entertainment’s highest pre-orders album of all time at the time of its release. The physical album comes in three photo book types (Crazy, Chilling, and Boring) and seven individual member jewel cases.

The logo for the title is using Canada Type’s Doobie, or possibly another digital interpretation of Scorpio and/or Hoopla. Poplar by Adobe is used for “NCT DREAM”, outlined and curved, resembling a hot sauce brand. The word “맛” below the title is in a yet to be identified Korean font [edit: identified by kfontsrc as Dunkel Sans, see comments]. The digital cover for the album resembles a sachet of hot sauce.

Doobie and Poplar are being used widely throughout the album’s promotion. Aside from these two fonts, Helvetica is also used in the timetable poster.
