Friends of Dean Martinez – The Shadow of Your Smile album art
From Wikipedia:
The Shadow of Your Smile is the debut album by the American alternative rock band Friends of Dean Martinez, released in 1995. The band included members of two Arizona bands: Joey Burns and John Convertino, of Giant Sand, and Bill Elm, Tom Larkins, and Van Christian, of Naked Prey. The band changed their name from Friends of Dean Martin right before the album’s release, after threat of legal action by Martin’s representatives.
The album was considered part of the mid-1990s “Cocktail Nation” trend of instrumental surf and lounge music.
The cover typography brings together two extrawide typefaces that support the cinematic feel. While the band name is set in an early digitization of Hellenic Wide, a classic Western “railroad slab”, the album title appears to use Horizontal. This modernist grotesk with similarities to Microgramma was designed by Max Miedinger of Helvetica fame. It was later digitized as Miedinger (Canada Type, 2007).
The track list is set in Hellenic Wide, too.
The typeface used for the credits is yet unidentified.
