Can anyone help me identify the tyeface used on this Leonard Cohen album cover please?

Any other nice display style font suggestions would be appreciated. I like the look of Fedra Sans Dispay and Fat Ed (custom font by Underware not available).

Thanks,

Dom

For similar heavy weights, check out Font Bureau’s Rhode, or H&FJ’s Knockout or Leviathan.

This is, or was derived from, 19th- and 20th-century wood type. There are several digital revivals with various degrees of fidelity to the funkiness of the original forms.
