Can anybody identify for me, the font from the 1959 album by Ornette Coleman- 'The shape of Jazz to come'? The clearest and largest image i can find is here:

'Shape of Jazz to Come' font?
Decorated 035.
Brilliant!! that was quick, many thanks!
The font is actually called Profil and was first issued by the Haas Foundry. It was big in the press type days of the late 1950s. Bitstream always used another name to avoid problems.
