Looking for the font of this book title - The Chatcher in the Rye

[Member Pat…]

I would like some hints on what font is this.

 

Thank you in advance!

Sorry, but the type on this cover is hand lettered, not typeset. Whether it was by E. Michael Mitchell, who designed the cover, or by some other lettering artist, I have not been able to determine.

EF Dragon Bold is similar for the H, E, and Y.

Agata and Morena are similar for the C.

JD SALINGER vaguely resembles Radiant Bold, which also resembles "the" and "in the," though Radient's e is too square.
