Stylistically, this looks a lot like the work Atelier Pierre Faucheux did for the Livre de Poche from 1964 until the mid-1980s.
Merci, Stéphane! Richard Hollis portrayed Faucheux in Eye no. 19 vol. 5, 1995. There are two book covers credited to him on Fonts In Use. I’ll look more into his body of work.
