A trichromatic setting of the bottom-heavy Charisma, using its Shaded Contour C style with red letter bodies, a yellow contour and a blue shade, for the title of The New Journalism. The handwritten-looking serifless roman is York.

Charisma was designed by Ed Benguiat (1927–2020) and made available through Photo-Lettering by 1971. Letraset’s Candice (1976) is a close follower. York is the first published typeface design by Georg Salden (b. 1930). It was released by VGC as one the 15 winning entries in a competition held in 1966.

The illustration uses a motif that goes back to M.C. Escher’s Drawing Hands from 1948.

The design of the book’s interior is credited to Gloria Adelson, but the cover is likely by someone else.
