On closer inspection, Matterhorn is not a perfect match in all details. Shown below is a comparison between several letterforms from the cover and a sample of Matterhorn Medium C(ondensed) as shown in a 1962 specimen, with slightly stretched proportions.
The square dot on i could be a quick modification, just like the shorter ascender of d. The differences in the thinning of joints and the modulation may be explained by the effects of the contouring. But what about the larger apertures in e and the left side of s? Also, the spine of s seems to be steeper.
I don’t know of another typeface that comes closer – it’s not Radius – and have added “uncertain typeface ID” for now. If you have a suggestion, please leave a comment.
The sample of Matterhorn shown on Daylight Fonts seems to indicate that square-dot versions of the i and j were alternate characters. Even with the other slight differences, I think the ID is solid.
The Matador “r” is a very close match.
