  2. Acme Gothic Light. It is a commercial typeface, so not available for free. If you don’t have a license for Adobe Creative Suite, which includes Adobe Fonts, you can also buy this single weight from the designer himself for $35.99. As for “free for personal use” typefaces, the Google web font Arsenal (if you artificially condense it) would be a decent substitute, as would Times Sans Serif, Oliver, Ogirema, and Kiyana.

  4. Looking for Shown English Font of BP Print Group’s Sample Bar Mitzvah Invitation Style 20. It is shown on the company’s website at https://www.bpinvitations.com/store/pc/personalize.asp?idproduct=455 Purpose: looking for a digital version, preferably free for addressing the envelopes for these invitations we ordered from them. Thanks very much!

  8. Other similars: Page Ephesian NF, LHF Firehouse (the lowercase glyphs)
  9. After a bit of online research, the custom typeface Sauron is repeatedly mentioned as the typeface used on posters and other marketing materials and merchandise, while the film titles themselves are described as custom lettering and credited to Alan Lee. Sadly, I haven’t found anything closer to Sauron than Ringbearer. Other typefaces with a similar vibe: Octavian, Guardi

  11. Hey, all. I'm trying to make a set of 10-disc collector's edition covers, sized for 4K cases. I'm mimicking the style used for the original "gold box" Extended Editions. But I'm having a problem recreating the logos for each film, the way the packaging designers did. I could try tracing it from a scan, but that's incredibly tedious. So, does anyone know of a more accurate typeface, besides Ringbearer? The original was apparently called Sauron, but WB keeps it locked up tighter than the Dark Lord's own castle. I've tried stretching each letter from Ringbearer into various proportions, but it never looks right. I've also tried using every "official" logo I can find, but they simply don't match. I've thought of trying to make my own font, but don't have the knowledge or the software. This is the style I'm after; anybody have fresh ideas?

  15. It was easy to recognize as I just digitized the entire family to be released for free. It will not be publicly available until 2027 though.
  16. My go-to sans serif font in my books is Futura, which is not considered to be a humanist font. In humanist fonts, I like Gill Sans, Verdana, and Tahoma when it needs to be a bit more compact.
  17. I made an image of 5 humanist sans serif typefaces I like, but I wonder which one you prefer.
  18. AI doesn’t reach out and pick one typeface when creating a design like this—it samples thousands of sources (including custom / hand-drawn logotypes) and creates something unique. Not finding a match anywhere. It appears to be a Frankenfont—stitched together from bits and pieces of other designs. Vaguely similar: Barbaro Western, Colombos, Leonid, Bronco Valley Vintage Serif, Empera Regular, Kolesome Regular, Lenorah JNL, Woodblock
  19. The letterpress original is called Koch-Antiqua ☞ https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/4646/koch-antiqua
  20. My friends son created this in using ai and I was hoping I could find the actual font so I can recreate it to have uniforms made.

  22. Sorry, not finding a match. It may be custom, or AI generated (I’m guessing the latter, as the monogram C on the full image is not a match to the C of the logotype and isn’t matching to a typeface either, and given the “AI modified” tag in the lower left of the image). AI doesn’t reach out and pick a typeface, it samples thousands of designs and creates an amalgam—a Frankenfont, if you will. Similar: Brand, Romance Delighter, Daisy Lau, Caden Love, Rosemarrye, Blackbike, Australian Mirages Brand is the closest, in my opinion.
  23. It's similar in some ways to Kuenstler 165 but i am unfamiliar with mid-century foundries from this area
  24. I have found similar fonts but am looking to identify this exact font. I came across this on pintereste while researching fonts for a branding project I am working on. https://pin.it/1zAQ6rUUk

  29. Very similar, but not a match—not narrow enough overall, crossbar on the F is too wide and not tall enough, higher-waisted R (and less-curved foot on the R), top of A isn’t flat enough. But definitely mimics the vibe:

  31. Hello, I'm trying to identify the font used as the music identifier on Viewsic, a Japanese cable network. Here some screenshots with the song name, artist and record label. I'm assuming they just used an already-made font instead of getting an already-commissioned font, especially since it's a Japanese network. Thanks for any help! :D
  32. woah!, thanks @Kevin Thompson , amazing works, been looking for this for a while :D
  33. "Florida" looks like Vincente: https://www.myfonts.com/collections/vincente-font-dharma-type
  34. I think I'll end up redrawing the Cape font so I marked this as solved. Thanks again! I'll be hanging around to help out where I can.
  35. Excellent; I think that is the closest we're going to get. Thank you so much!
