Typography Feed (complete)

I've recently published PART 2 of the instructional study dedicated to Serbian Cyrillic. It deals with true italic forms and completes the topic, which started with PART 1 (upright forms): https://nostalgicdolphin.com/blog-post-3/ If you find it useful, please share it on your type-focused web channels, to reach as many of our colleagues as possible. Cheers! —I

I’m only finding similar, but more calligraphic—like Optima Black.

Hi, I am trying to find the font that was used on the t-shirts of my old school. Unfortunately, the only reference I have is a vintage 90's T-Shirt, and due to the age the fabric has skewed. If you could help me identify this font, it would be much appreciated! Thank you! Sam

Neuzeit Grotesk Bold (Oblique), and yes, the t appears to be customized.

Looking for the font for Stride Bank or in this case Stride Payments. Not sure if the t has been stylized or if this is the way the font would be. Thanks

Thankyou Kevin, I really appreciate that time you took looking at that for me. I was able to come up with anything either on myfonts, and thier forum i couldnt even get to work. Thx too for the similar alternatives, great you guys are here to help. Cheers Michelle

It isn’t Arial. Try Helvetica Black.

Sorry, but what you posted appears to be a custom logotype/custom lettering (not finding a match. Vaguely similar: Boxing Wizards, Naughty Monster

Hi everyone, This is used on a website https://earthsoulsilver.com.au/. I'm only interested in the type. Many thanks, Michelle

This is from the Trading Card Game of Inazuma Eleven; the original one (japanese) was released in 2008, but the european version, around 2011. In the european one they used this Arial Black font for the Card Names. The Arial I have is very similar, but some details vary, so I would like to know if it's possible to get like an older version of Arial or something like that.

thank you so much

The W01 version is likely just a webfont version. It’s not meant to be installed in MacOS (technically or legally) and not meant to look good there. In the other version, LT just stands for the foundry (Linotype) and STD for a standard character set. So, both versions can indeed be the same design despite the differences in the names.

At my new position, they are serving a web-font called Helvetica Neue W01. However, I can’t seem to trace its origin, as the original people who installed it are no longer there. I’m trying to understand this because the brand’s official font is Helvetica Neue LT Std, which has a completely different vertical matrix (higher) compared to the existing web-font. I’m eager to get to the bottom of this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Screenshot attached.

Thank you. Typically, just MS Word or Powerpoint. Do you know if these programs have a way to command an insertion of a non-Unicode glyph? How do I tell if a font is sold as "Unicode" or not? Is that going to be given in the specs somewhere? And is that really the only solution? I have quite a few of these. Thanks for your help.

The now dead link “derivarives” above was for Heroine.

In which apps exactly do you try to paste these symbols? Using a standard Unicode character palette will of course not be too helpful. It shows you glyphs encoded with the proper Unicode value. A symbol font being matched to the a regular Western 8-bit encoding will not be compatible with that, let alone some obscure symbol encoding. And FontBook will probably also fail to copy something useful into the clipboard. In general, what you are seeing is non-Unicode fonts being phased out. You might need to get updated versions of these fonts. But it will depend on the app. I know InDesign for example can show and access glyphs by their glyph ID. The encoding doesn’t matter and even unencoded glyphs can be accessed this way. But only using InDesign’s glyph palette. At least for now. Adobe has also officially dropped support for older font formats.

Recently, having upgraded to Mac OS Sonoma (14.7.1), I am having problems with various ornament fonts (dingbats) on my Mac. I understand that the MAC operating system has changed the way glyphs are handled. In the "old days" glyphs were assigned to letters but no longer. Supposedly, if you bring up the 'character viewer' and select the category of 'dingbats', you will see the ornament fonts and can insert from there; but this is not working on my computer: most of them are not listed and ones that are have only some or none (!) of the glyphs shown and those few shown will not insert into a document. Font book thinks these fonts are validated. In font book, I can select a glyph in the "repertoire" view, hit the 'copy' button, but only rarely will the glyph actually be able to be pasted in to a document. Fonts that have stopped working include Bodoni ornaments, Type embellshments, Hoefler Text ornaments, and some others. Because searching on line does not bring up a lot of help, I am wondering if something odd is happening with my computer? I'd really appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks. Tobias

Just learned that Gregam is a revival/refinement of Williamson Template, for those interested in the origin of the style.

Thank you!!!

Thanks !

The most similar I can find, is a rounded version of Vintage Varsity.

Hey, I'm looking for the font used on this longsleeve t-shirt. Many thanks, A

Thanks so much Kevin!
