From Wikipedia:

FanMail is the third studio album by American girl group TLC, released on February 23, 1999, by LaFace and Arista Records. The album title is a tribute to TLC's fans who sent them fan mail during their hiatus. FanMail debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, selling 318,000 copies in its first week of release, and spent five weeks at number one.

The cover was designed by DL Warfield with photography by Seb Janiak. According to Warfield:

Creating the artwork the iconic TLC Fanmail album was one of the easiest projects I've had to work on over the years. I came up with the idea for the cover two years before the album came out after seeing a magazine cover photo of an image of Naomi Campbell shot by Seb Janiak.

Lord Haw-Haw is used for both the group’s name and the album title. The cover art is overlayed with ones and zeros set in Courier 10 Pitch. Orator is used on the back cover, and Helvetica on the disc label and in the accompanying booklet.
