Buxom wasn’t released before 1975. This cover probably uses the original Baby Fat Black by Milton Glaser. I’ve changed the typeface credits. See also this Use: Lesson No. 1 by Glenn Branca
Ah, scratch that. All the finer details – wider and simpler shades, filled counter of O, less deep notches in M and N, lower middle bar in F – suggest that this is Buxom, and not Baby Fat Black. If the 1970 date for this paperback is correct (and it’s confirmed by the ISFDB), this means that the 1975 date given by MyFonts for Buxom is wrong.
