Axiom's End , a 2020 novel by Lindsay Ellis, appears to use the source ATF Poster Gothic for the book title and Bank Gothic for the author's name. I'm not 100% sure, as none of the sources seem to be an exact match. The E The capital letter in the title appears to be customized with the top and bottom terminals cut at an angle. M The uppercase letter has a sharper vertex and the D The uppercase letter is more rectangular. Additionally, the author's name has a blurred and fuzzy effect that gives the letters rounded corners. Therefore, it's difficult to tell what's part of the actual font versus a custom modification. I'll post a correction if someone comes up with a more precise identification.
