Virile was designed by John F. Cumming and issued by the Dickinson foundry in Boston around 1890, as a narrower version of Erratick. The font used on this album cover could be the phototype adaptation shown by Techni-Process Lettering Inc. in 1967. “8 Shades of Sound” and “Murbo Reecords” feature Umbra in alternating glyph colors. The track list appears to use all-caps Filmotype Madison or similar.
