Koloss in all caps, with EndcapS and a diamond-shaped middle dot for the cover of Bolan’s Zip Gun. Released in February 1975 in the UK only, the tenth studio album by English glam rock band T. Rex failed to chart.

Great to see these examples of Koloss in use. I didn’t know the name of the font until finding this site; thank you.
The photo inside the dye-cut sleeve is by Keith Morris.
Kosh designed four LP covers for T.Rex, of which this was the final one. He also designed the quad poster and other assets for the Apple Film about T.Rex, Born to Boogie, and a poster featuring Bolan for the UK’s Health Education Authority.
Thank you for your comment, Martin! Do you happen to know who designed the cover of Prophets, Seers & Sages? The photography is by Pete Sanders, but we’d love to credit those who are responsible for the typography.
