Randomly reversed long s?
Hmm, this would not fit the sloped serif. Rather a flipped, dotless j. Wildly guessing, I would say, that whoever made the cover wanted it to reflect “Widerspruch” (contradiction) or the tertium non datur (the excluded middle), which is strongly related to the “Satz vom Widerspruch” (law of contradiction). To this purpose, he employed a ‘contradictory’ character: something that the reader might guess to be a flipped capital long s or plainly a something that is as far detached from any existing character as possible while still being recognisable as a character. Or it is just supposed to provoke thoughts – in which it succeeded, as this discussion prooves.
