  3. The base font appears to be The Sans Semibold and Bold, by Lucas de Groot. The logo is an added customization, which is proprietary to the team. There are a number of sites on the web that offer vector versions of team typefaces, but none of them are exactly legal. A Google search might lead you to a source.
  4. Hi everyone, I'm desperately searching for the Font my favourite Football Team 1.FC Köln used from 2003-2006. I want to renew the print on my old jersey. Thank you!
  5. Dough Wilson discovering images hidden for over 75 years in Germany.
  6. The distortion makes an ID difficult (and logotypes aren’t always straight settings of typefaces; they are often custom lettering). Similar: Haettenschweiler, Compacta, Impact, Permanent Headline, Schmalfette Grotesk

  8. Hey there I need help identifying the font that says Andy! Please and thank you!
  9. Needing to match this font to make new letters for the school. A few close examples I found were Kabel and Kaapeli, but both were slightly different. Any help would be appreciated. Commercial fonts are fine!
  10. “Design math equations as beautifully as the rest of your text with accessibility-friendly MathML. Input equations as text that can be read by assistive technology and scales for visibility.”
  11. Great video. I'd certainly use a UK version of an augmented keyboard. I agree it's not for everyone, and maybe there's only a small market in each country. However, if your successful kickstarter is a good indication, then it's certainly commercially viable!
  12. Additionally, augmented keyboards for niche markets already exists. Video editing and music producing comes to mind, but I’m sure also video games. The problem with those, though, is that they’re mostly tied to specific softwares.
  13. Some assorted thoughts: It would be wonderful if there was an augmented keyboard standard allowing professional typesetting for every language, and surely having the glyphs printed on the caps is a must. Having such standards would also allow to produce less cluttered keys, with only a selection of options visible. That could serve both to appeal to non-professionals interested in good typesetting, and to gently educating on the possibilities. Unfortunately having a standard isn’t worth much if it’s not implemented. A tangential example: Apple used to produce Italian keyboards according to the ISO standard with, among other things, numerals accessed with the shift key (I, being a number pad user, very much appreciated those ten lowercase punctuation and symbols keys), but at some point they switched to a variation of the US layout (with some accented characters sneaked in), because that’s what Windows users were used to.
  14. Among the Gutenberg-Museum’s greatest treasures are two Gutenberg Bibles. The digital copies which were created in close cooperation with Mainz University Library are now available through Gutenberg Capture.
  15. Upper case should be more narrow (higher given same width), than lower case. The rest can be set with kerning and tracking.
  16. Thank you so much. I've tried it out in my working file, and it's either an exact math or very very close. Since the expertise is available, what about the titles on the sample page? It appears that it is in the same font family, because in other pages, the same B/D/I serifs appear. But it is narrower. Is there a narrow version of Orator perhaps? Or does anyone know of a narrow-styled font that would be a pretty close match? (In this case I'd rather get the narrowness of the style if I can't get both that and the unique use of only three letters with serif.)
  17. Looks like the smaller font is probably written on an IBM Selectric typewritter (Orator family), the conversion can be found here. The 'Butter Mold' text is most likely handwritten. The closest font I can find is Amaro.
  18. Tough one, I fear. Looking to conclusively identify the attached sans. Seen it used in *tons* of mid-century advertising – some notable features include: two-story a straight-sided M one-stroke 1 no-tail t angle-cut C Has some similarities to Metro, Futura, Spartan, Universe, Intervogue, Kabel, Twentieth Century, etc. — but they're not exact matches. I'd love help identifying the real foundry typeface (even if not digitized) and of course a very close modern digitization if one exists. Thanks in advance, hive mind!
  19. I have a cookbook that was written by an aunt that was printed in 1984. I am creating a digital version of it from photos I took of each page. I'm planning on creating two versions. First, an "original" edition that comes as close to the original as possible. And then an updated and annotated one. Can anyone help identify a font that would be close to the one used for the ingredients and cooking instructions? It appears that only the capital letters B, D, and I had serifs. And it was set in a style that can be pretty well matched using sentence case and small caps. But I haven't spotted any fonts that are close to the one originally used. Can anyone provide suggestions of font names that would approximate the style? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Here is a sample page:
