Off topic except for fonts:

Jimmy Buffett's 1977 album title font as well as his last album, released a month after he died in 2023, was based on the Mississippi welcome sign.

Whoever was in charge of the text part of the Voodoo Lounge cover most likely created only the letters needed without using an already existing font.

Nowadays there are thousands of fonts and graphic artists usually find among them the one they had in mind, maybe modify it slightly to give the text a personal touch.

The alphabet could be completed starting with the Voodoo Lounge letters we know so well and converted into a TTF (True Type Font) with appropriate font generating software.

Or Mark Norton (who designed the VL artworks) could have bought a custom designed font set and used it exclusively. Could be the same with the 'Bridges to Babylon' font. With Voodoo Lounge, there're more letters than just RS & VL:

Interesting, that the '9' in the poster looks different from the '9' in the catalogue. Also interesting, that some letterings of the VL Uncut BR/DVD/CD are not the same font as the title font.

Here's one that might be more of a challenge.

Live At The Wiltern - two (slightly different) fonts:

1. The one on the front cover.

2. The one used for the CD tracklists on the back cover.

Any suggestions?

You could try a font finder that identifies fonts based on a sample image.



On the rear cover of the CD, even the font itself has different letter shapes e.g. for the 'N' of 'Neighbours', 'Hand of Fate, 'No Expectations' or the 'E' of 'Live with me', 'No Expectations'. There're also different shapes for other letters.

To keep it simple, I did a font search on the more uniform font on the front cover. I found that Baro LineThree is a pretty close approximation. It's part of the Baro font family available for free at [befonts.com]
