This is probably done by hand (?), but what type will get me close to this? This dates from the late 60s.

This resembles a film type called ’Shalom’ shown in the Solotype Catalog (p.74). I found a digital version of something like it here.

Thank you Mike. Sholom is maybe the closest I will get for now.

Hmmm...

Shalom is designed to look like the Hebrew alphabet, but the Pharoah Sanders album doesn’t look like that at all.

Not that I can find anything closer, of course...
