Cover for Merry Christmas!, a 1963 album by The New Christy Minstrels. The large-ensemble folk music group was founded by Randy Sparks (b. 1933) in 1961 and is still active to this day. The title is set caps from Times New Roman. Most of the other type is Inserat-Grotesk – a typeface that would also appear on several subsequent albums by the group.
