Roland looks to be set in Univers 53. With possibly a little extra weight added, slightly rounding the edges, likely due to whatever manufacturing process was used to apply the type to the product.

Example, with lower showing extra weight and rounding of edges:


Suggested font: Univers



See Zarana from Compugraphic. Originally named ABC Sans and likely created for the American Broadcasting Company around the mid-1970s. Potentially inspired by Handel Gothic. Saul Bass had previously created a similar look by modifiying Handel Gothic for the 1972 Warner Bros logo.

It's custom lettering by Margo Chase. But it may have been loosely based on Caslon Antique, which was used on the cover for Madonna's Remixed Prayers Mini-Album.

A lot of the iconic 1980s Stephen King book covers use Pacella Latina, a typeface designed by Vincent Pacella for Photo-Lettering, Inc. Trims have been made to the wedge-shaped serifs on some letters for aesthetic reasons or to help tighten the spacing without compromising legibility.

Franklin Gothic. Possibly in a faux italic. Many interpretations, but most digital versions will probably pass as the same. Some versions of it have slightly differently rendered E's and S's.

See Magnetic Ink, a phototype from Photo-Lettering. Available in four weights, with your sample being typeset in one of the heavier. The album's "Space Oddity" type (not featured here) also contains lowercase (see a, c, e, i and t) that match Magnetic Ink. Unfortunately, no digital version.

Compare with type sample (A, E, I, O) featured on the 1974 poster for The Terminal Man:
