Elton John Tumbleweed Connection font?

[what_larx]

Looking for identity of this font from Elton John's 1971 album "Tumbleweed Connection". It was originally a phototypeset font, but I am looking to find a digital version.

The only digitisation seems to be Plymouth.

Many thanks - you're right! I was the designer (almost 50 years ago), but it completely slipped my mind until you jolted my memory. Stay safe Riccardo - grazie molto !

I submitted the album cover at Fonts in Use, please let me know if (and how) you would like to be credited as the designer.

Back then my credit was: Art Direction and Sleeve Design by David Larkham

Hello David,

This is Florian, one of the editors of Fonts In Use, a website that documents how typefaces are being used (or have been used in the past).

I’m happy to report that the post about your album art – which Riccardo kindly prepared and submitted – has now been published: https://fontsinuse.com/uses/32030/elton-john-tumbleweed-connection-album-art
It’s a beautiful album!

Many thanks for featuring this, Florian. It has brought back many memories.
