One year after MGM Records released The Very Best of Hank Williams, they followed up with a second compilation album. This time, the art department opted against a portrait of the legendary country singer, and for an entirely typographic cover design.

Williams’ name is set in a version of Egyptian Ornamented. “The very best of” is added in caps from Akzidenz-Grotesk Extra. Each of the twelve song names is shown in a different typeface. Or almost: one typeface appears twice. Can you spot it?
