White Stripes De Stijl Album cover

Couzey

I am needing to ID the font used on the cover of The White Stripes 'De Stijl' album. It has lower case 'e' only three horizontal lines.

Could they have customised Handel Gothic?

Nah, it's only remotely similar.

Wow! That was FAST! I was thinking that too, or maybe Denmark would work but wanted that 'e' to print correctly.

De Stijl you would think, but what I have found so far doesn't match.

What I don't understand is why they didn't use the real thing.
