A multicolored use of Jester Ornamental, which was Photo-Lettering’s adaptation of Alphabet Fantasque, for an album of Hawaiian music by Leo Addeo (1914–1979) and His Orchestra, released in 1972 by RCA Camden. The letterforms of the decorative 19th-century alphabet were color separated: some structural parts and all shadows were printed in cyan and magenta, resulting in a dark purple. The fills alternate between orange with red and green with blue. These colors are likewise achieved by overprinting process colors, as the partly imperfect registration reveals.
