The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Bantam Books RC4424, 1970. Cover Artist: unknown

Three cover designs from the American publishing house Bantam Books — two books by Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821–1881), and one anti-Communist spy novel — united by the typeface. Bantam must have believed thatRubenshad a Cyrillic or Russian "feel". Apparently, the Fonderie Typographique Française did so, too: Their version of Rubens was named Moscovites.
