From Wikipedia:
The October Country is a 1955 collection of nineteen macabre short stories by American writer Ray Bradbury. It reprints fifteen of the twenty-seven stories of his 1947 collection Dark Carnival, and adds four more of his stories previously published elsewhere.
The depicted cover is for the June 1972 paperback edition by Ballantine Books. The biform typeface with the horizontal contrast is Sintex. Designed by Aldo Novarese, it was issued around the same time as the similar Zipper (Letraset, 1970).
Ballantine Books also used Sintex for another book by Bradbury, the 1972 edition of his famous Fahrenheit 451. In fact, Nick’s post was the first example for Sintex on Fonts In Use, published ten years ago.
