Hi. I try to identify the typography used by Ruscha for its “some los angeles apartments” book ; more precisely, the font used to draw the cover of this book (see reached picture). thank you beforehand for your help, anne-valérie.

Ruscha did a lot of hand lettering, but this could be based on Stymie.

Similar, Robert, but not quite.
