Fountainhead Earth is a twenty-volume philosophical fiction novel by Nobel prizewinning author Ayn Rand. It was Rand's last work of fiction, and all volumes after the first were published posthumously. All volumes made the New York Times Best Seller list, but the series received almost universal critical condemnation.

The series successfully achieved negative sales, with critics sending their copies back as returns, and more copies being remaindered than were actually printed.

Fountainhead Earth is not a series of twenty novels, it just feels like it.

I need to do an image for the Uncyclopedia copy of that last entry. To this end, I need to know what font is used on this book cover. Or if you know what font it's derived from. Thank you.

Update: [livejournal.com profile] echo_echo seems to have spotted its nearest ancestor: Helvetica 73 Bold Extended. Now I would be most grateful if someone with a copy to hand could please help me by rendering the capital letters, numbers and colon, about 100 point (since copying the font file itself would be a copyright violation). Or the font file itself if someone has a suitably licensed copy, of course!
