I can't find a decent scan of the cover of that issue.

That's Bill Buzbee's ELF. He did a nice job.
I've studied it a bit more. The "R" in Helvetica isn't a good match,
and I don't like it. Adelle Sans Bold and District Std. Demi look
like better matches, but I don't want to spend that much money. I
think I'll go with Liberation Sans Bold and/or Liberation Sans Narrow
Bold. They look close enough, other than having a horizontal base bar
for the "1", and I think I can live with that.
