Help identifying a font from metal type
Member Kev… replied to Member Wal… 's topic in Font Identification
If there is a g in the sample you posted, I must have missed it (I see several q|s, but no g). If you click the link I provided, and go to the info links on the far right, you can access various specimens of Akzidenz-Grotesk over the years. The lowercase a in your sample has a straight stem (no flare out at the bottom), but both styles occur in AG, depending on the weight. Can you post an image of your double-story g? -

Member Wal… replied to Member Wal… 's topic in Font Identification
Thanks for the input Kevin! There are some slight differences between this and Akzidenz-Grotesk Condensed but but definitely a close derivative as you say. One of the more noticeably differences is the double story "g" (single story in Akzidenz) if I'm not mistaken. -

1960s Sans serif font used by American photographer Saul Leiter
Member ten… posted a topic in Font Identification
Hello, I am trying to identify this sans serif that was used on Saul Leiter's letterhead in the 60s in New York. It's a scan from an original document, that's why it looks so distressed. I have found a few close matches, but not a 100% one (Century Gothic, Wes FY Reg being the closest). Any other suggestion? -

Malibu Cigarettes Advertisement 1989
Member Kev… replied to Member PAG… 's topic in Font Identification
Sorry, not finding a match. Given the age, it may well have been custom lettered. Feltpen Medium has a very similar vibe, as does Inform. -
Trying to match this sans serif, high-contrast, ultra-wide display font as closely as possible, but not finding any good matches...

I think Retrive may work for "closest match" purposes. Thanks Kevin! -

Very similar to Gothic Extended / AWT W&W Gothic Extended (save for the R). Better for the R, but lacking the thick/thin contrast: Retrive Even better for the R, but you'd have to flip the A: Dassault -

Almost certainly Akzidenz-Grotesk Condensed or a close derivative. -
Hello can anyone help identify this font or a similar one from a Malibu Cigarettes Advertisement from 1989
-
I've got this display font from a print shop (est. 1912) in Sweden and I photographed it and currently making a bitmap font of it (image is from early work in progress), but want to credit the designer in some way. Point size is ca 72 pt and the bottom of the type has this bevel which I understand is an "older" phenomena.

untilCrafting Type is an intense 3–day workshop where absolute beginners learn how to design typefaces and intermediate type designers boost their skills. We run it around the world at cities large and small to bring you a solid start in type design. You may not be considering a career as a type designer. Many people we meet at our workshops have already established great careers as web designers, graphic designers, artists, architects, or illustrators. Sometimes we see repeat customers, who travel in from another city to attend the same workshop a second time — with no intention of becoming a professional type designer, ever. http://craftingtype.com

The first ones, without the median spur, are variations of Copperplate Gothic. -
What's the font used in SEGA CD logo, Juiced Monster energy and Warhammer 40K: Darktide?
Member Dea… posted a topic in Talk
Hello, I'm looking for 3 variations of the same font that were used for the SEGA CD logo, on some Monster Energy cans, in Warhammer 40K (Darktide) and elsewhere, but I couldn't tell where exactly. They seem to be pretty common fonts, and I'd like to use them, but I can't find them anywhere online. Here are some pictures of the fonts I'm talking about: https://imgur.com/b3ijApO https://imgur.com/vSUwGkq https://imgur.com/tQfTDuB Can anyone tell me what font it is? -

1977 - 1979 Seattle Mariners Logo font
Member msh… replied to Member The… 's topic in Font Identification
A little more research indicates that it is indeed ITC Serif Gothic, but that many of the alternate characters included in the original typeface were never digitized and included in any of the digital font versions (see right hand section of the image for the tilted "e"). -

yes that is possible - I guess its also possible that the whole thing was created as a graphic -

I think it's most likely hand modified (rotated) to get that effect in the logo 🙂 -

Yes that ITC Serif Gothic is very close but the lower case e is different and my client likes that e in the Mariners logo - thanks for the reply, much appreciated -

Engraving inspired serif typeface on performing arts bill (Jazz Journal)
Member msh… replied to Member hoo… 's topic in Font Identification
I think some version of Federal is the right choice, but I suspect the dimensional and engraved aspects are custom -
