Front and back cover for Richard Mazda’s Hands of Fate album, which was released in 1983 by I.R.S. Records.

While the author’s first name isn’t too out of the ordinary, being set in the bold italic style of ITC Zapf Chancery, the same can't be said for the typographic “main attraction”; it’s a pre-digital film typeface that’s called Sarah Elizabeth by Solotype. It has several digitizations, including Doug Olena’s Burrito, B. Haber’s Taco Salad (with small caps), WSI’s Hot Tamale, and (probably most successfully of all) Image Club’s Fajita. It’s used here in all caps.
