Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy is Leonard Nimoy’s second album released shortly after Music from Outer Space. It was released in early 1968 by Dot Records and reached 97 on the US album chart.” – Wikipedia

Sandy Dvore’s cover design features what must be an early use of Hoffman Caps. This revival of a capital alphabet reproduced in the second edition of Strong’s Book of Designs (1917) is shown in the 1968 catalog of Lettergraphics, a Californian phototype company that was founded in the mid 1960s. The track names are set in all-lowercase italic Century Expanded.
