Dust jacket of the hardback edition. The secondary typeface looks like some bold variant of Times New Roman.

Walter Sorell’s “exploration of the elements of humor as expressed through comedy, satire, and farce from Aristophanes to Ionesco, from Menander to S.N. Behrman” was published by Grosset & Dunlap in 1972. The swashy display typeface is Davison Art Nouveau, which in 1975 became “the Dune font”.
