@nprofile1q... The main typeface used for the original cover is Pump Bold: https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/1886/pump The LaserGo logo is in Friz Quadrata: https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/1768/friz-quadrata Both are commercial releases.

Let me know if you want the names of the other fonts as well. (I do like your approach of capturing the feel rather than making a 100% faithful recreation.)

From 1775 to 1779, the Continental Congress issued almost 200 million dollars of Continental currency in order to finance the American Revolutionary War. The banknotes were printed by Hall & Sellers – formerly dba B. Franklin & D. Hall – in Philadelphia. The typography featured three script typefaces that originated at the Grover foundry in England.

Staff pick:

Monasterio de San Francisco is a hotel near Córdoba, Spain. For the visual identity, branding studio Wozere made a logo using Miss Fajardose, a swirling script by @nprofile1q... that’s based on the work of 1940s lettering artist Charles P. Bluemlein.

It’s combined with initials from PoW Limerick (Proof of Words), a pixel font inspired by cross-stitch alphabets, and the condensed serif Editorial New (Pangram Pangram).
