Magic And The Supernatural
From a book published in 1964 by Spring Books, London. The slight splaying of the M’s outer legs is unique, as is the P’s relatively low waist line.

Nice. Not a perfect match, but definitely close.
The most info I found about Placard was that “the Placard Condensed font family is based on drawings received from Germany” (from its page on fonts.com).
If anyone has any more info on the face, I’d be curious to hear it.
