The Leftovers Cook Book by Loyta Wooding, David White
I’ve previously posted the cover of Grosset & Dunlap’s paperback edition of this cookbook, featuring West Fantini. This is the first edition published by David White in hardback three years earlier, in 1969. The cover was likewise designed by Loretta Trezzo.
The title typeface again is by Photo-Lettering. This time it’s Benguiat Montage, and probably its Extra Condensed width. A comparison to the digital version by House Industries reveals various differences, see below. This is because that is more of a revision and refinement than a 100% faithful digitization. Looking at period specimens shows that Benguiat’s original from the 1960s did have that wide f and that big fat ball terminal on r. For all I know, Montage never offered an alternate form for the letter k, neither then or now. I’ll have to assume that the form with curved leg was a customization, made by the PLINC staff just for this job.
For “The”, Trezzo used the catchword included in Bookman. Wooding’s name and the description are set in what looks like Torino Italic.
