The most used typeface, or font (can't really tell these words apart), on Quo albums, from Hello! onwards (with some exceptions) is the slightly slanted, leaning one in a corner of an album cover. What is the name of this typeface/font?

Probably drawn specifically as their logo. There may be a font that’s been drawn afterwards but I don’t know

This is actually true even if it sounds like a joke....
I saw a company van (I think it was a carpet supplier) which had the company name sign-written in the slanted Status Quo font.

Funnily enough, my first job on leaving school was an apprentice at a printers. I do remember having a book with all the different type faces in, there was literally hundreds of them.
Be dammed if I can remember any of their names. 🤔🙄
