3 Comments on “The Wrong End of Time by John Brunner (DAW)”
Here’s a specimen of Germanic Sans, taken from the Headliners neo®-Phototype catalog, ©1978:
Germanic Sans is a lesser known contribution to the wave of simplified sans serifs from the late 1960s and 1970s. It came with a number of round alternates similar to the glyphs found in Harry, Blippo, Pump, or ITC Bauhaus. Without those—like in the cover shown above—it looks like a wonky rendition of Kabel Black or similar, with a G reminiscent of Bernhard Gothic.
And here’s another cover variation using ITC Busorama and artwork by Attilla Hejja (incorrectly credited as Atilla Hejja) that has absolutely no relation to the story at all.
This is Canadian first printing, published by The New American Library of Canada Limited in 1973.
Thanks for the addition, Grant!
