Found: Vintage Book Covers

The estimated time to read this article is less than a minute

I found a series of Worldwatch paper books this past weekend. I promptly gathered the books and took several photos of them. My girlfriends mom was quite amused with this :) But, I could not help it! The type and the simplicity of the covers just caught my eye! I love the think/thin of the typeface. Looks very 70′s. And the paper is textured and feels nice in your hands!

Does anyone know what typeface the book titles are set in?

I love the thick thin of the lowercase r!!!

    Of course you took of a photo of these: They’re awesome! Yeah, I would’ve said the font is Bodoni, but what do I know? :)
