The first music cover by German designer Peter Krüll features a brilliant use of Glaser Stencil repeating the words “BILL EVANS TRIO” and removing some of the typeface’s stenciled pieces until the word “PIANO” subliminally appears. (At least that’s my impression.)

Krüll was teaching typography at the University of Dortmund at the time. From 1996 to 2023 he is a professor at the University of Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm. After this cover for West Wind Records Krüll went on to design many albums for the German label ACT, but none quite as typographically playful.
