The small type (and the text typeface) is **De Vinne**.\n\n\n\n\n**West Nouveau Didot** is a typeface drawn by Dave West and added to the catalog of Photo-Lettering by 1971.\n\nIn August 1975, it was used in all caps for The Fantastic Art of Frank Frazetta, an album with assorted works by the “Godfather of fantasy art”, with an introduction by Betty Ballantine and book design by Robert Blanchard. The book was published by Rufus Publications and Peacock Press, an imprint of Ballantine Books. Scribner’s issued a hardback edition in September 1975.\n\nThe typeface subsequently became the backbone of the typographic identity of Frank Frazetta (1928–2010). It was used for all five volumes of The Fantastic Art of Frank Frazetta, as well as calendars, catalogs, jigsaw puzzles, and other items featuring the iconic works by the Brooklyn-born artist.\n\n\n\n_**Source: comics.ha.com **Heritage Auctions.
