Two sans serifs with angled terminals and roots in the 1920s, one very light and one rather bold: Kabel Light (1927) and Novel Gothic (1928) are contrasted on the German sleeve for Joe Cocker’s 1971 hit single “High Time We Went”.

The American version by A&M Records shown below uses a larger crop of the same stylized photograph, and exclusively Novel Gothic.

Joe Cocker (1944–2014) would have turned eighty on May 20, 2024.
