Rocket Script is also too light as is. If you can thicken it and make the _S_ narrower it could work fine.

Suggested font: Rocket Script



Starliner BTN Bold Oblique would have been my first choice as a substitute but is too light as is. If you can thicken it and make the _S_ narrower it could work fine.

Suggested font: Starliner Bold Oblique



HTCartoleria has a similar _E_
You would need to slope this one

Suggested font: Cartoleria



No single font has all the letters to match.
But there are some similar fonts that you might try alone or mix and match.
Armstrong Italic has a somewhat similar vibe.

Perhaps _LE CRAPOUILLOT_ is not digitized.
Forbes, suggested by koeikat, could work as a substitute if the leg on the _R_ was patched with one from a heavy Clarendon and was compressed moderately in width.

Tales to Astonish was a comic book launched in 1959 and like other comic books of the era had a hand lettered title.
Don't expect a match unless a font has been made based on the title.
Comic Craft's Monster Mash, already suggested by rogerolim, is perhaps as close as you will get.
It is not out of the question that Monster Mash was inspired by the title. However this type of lettering was a staple in the comic book business of the 1950s so it's hard to say for certain.

Close except for _S_

Good find.
Here is Ru'Ach with an 8 point parallel line, overlaps merged and some minor clean up.

Seems that the Spur logo makers might have used something like this result and further refined the letters. The _r_ would have needed considerable revision to produce the final result.

Sep 20, 2015 at 13:04  [reply]  Font Name?

Letters mimic the effect of a flat brush or felt-tip marker.
Major stores have their own letters for pricing: Ikea, Home Depot etc. so these letters might not be part of a font being sold to the public.
Another font using this effect, but which does not match your letters, Marky Marker NF

The question is what was available in 1976 as transfer letters, photo-type or old time designs for lettering inspiration.
I note the similarity of the _S_ to Gill Sans.
Could perhaps be some other lettering by Eric Gill?

In 1981 this was lettering for the movie.
I did not spot a subsequent fan font with the same name.
Not too difficult to make so there might be a font based on the movie lettering with a different name.

Thanks for the clarification

Jenson, cut by William W. Jackson US Design Patent 19810 May 6, 1890 sold by MacKellar Smiths Jordon.
Character set extracted from the microfilmed patent

There might have been an alternate _E_ similar to _F_.
As for the format used to put the letters on the Wings album, I have no idea.
Given the era it could have been transfer letters, hand lettered or photo-type.
If it was sold as a product, a name other than Jenson seems likely, given that the name Jenson was taken for other fonts.

Similar _S_ to Bauhaus. Also not wide enough.
Don

Suggested font: Audimat 3000 Mi-gras

@Yaprak Good find with Trajia. Agree a flipped and mirrored _V_ is close.

What is really needed is a Bauhaus style _S_, i.e. ends of _S_ are straight and horizontal, and the _S_ has an angled diagonal. But Bauhaus is not wide enough.

Suggested font: Bauhaus DemiBold
