Despite its high price, Dutch Type is chock full of classic and contemporary Dutch design brilliance from page one. 010 Publishers is one of my favorite publishers as well, with a very serious and interesting catalogue. Note the clever entry of both the book’s title and it’s publisher.
The typeface on the cover is Fresco Sans by Fred Smeijers. The book itself is typeset in Versa by Peter Verheul (www.farhill.nl).
Both typefaces are sold by OurType (www.ourtype.be) or Fontshop (www.fontshop.com).

Great. I have a bias for text-only covers that look great, of which this is a prime example.
