Victor Gollancz’s 1928 compilation of various short detection, mystery, and horror stories, edited by Dorothy Sayers.
This text-based book jacket is set entirely in two typefaces (or rather, both styles of a small family): Xylo Solid and Inline. Two black lines separate the information, title, and story listings from each other. As can be seen here, at least a few of the lines aren’t fully aligned and even wrap around the front.
The typeface has been lucky enough to receive a digital version in 1995 by Letraset, but only of the original solid style. The inline equivalent has yet to see a digital release of any kind.
