Nice! Thank Ralf, that was quick!

Modern Gothic. ☞ https://www.allcapstype.com/typefaces/modern-gothic

Hi! I'm trying to identify the typeface used on this website. https://www.333southwabash.com/the-red I'm curious about this typeface and was wondering if anyone recognizes it. When I inspect the page elements, the font name appears only as "MG". It's a really nice website, designed by Made Thought and developed by Aristide Benoist. I've been searching for quite a while and can't seem to find it. I'm almost certain I've seen this typeface before, but I can't remember its name. Do you think it's a custom typeface, or does it resemble an existing font family? Thanks for any leads!

Hiroshige ☞ https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/4154/hiroshige

Early backend; capable of graphics; several grayscales; DIN A4; full page can be displayed; page layout can be checked before setting on film (backEnd); for the time a high-resolution screen. It was the beginning of WYSIWYG

Linotype Certronic 300 Input device (frontend; CRTronic) Disadvantages: not graphic-capable; no enlargement; character matrix and number of characters specified; reduced ASCii code so, for example, no German special characters can be displayed. Typeview 300

Some flavor of Garamond—Simoncini Garamond seems a likely culprit. EDIT: Upon further study, I suspect this is actually Sabon, given the italic j and f.

Arial was designed as a replacement for Helvetica, and to be metrically compatible with Helvetica. A few glyphs are different but, for the most part, I regard them as interchangeable.

Pictures are from a book titled Mes Dégustations Littéraires by Pierre Poupon. Publisher is Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin. Pressed by L'Imprimerie Darantière in France, 1979. Italic f and italic j are as seen in the pictures throughout the book, so not sure whether they are an imperfection or not. I would appreciate any help pointing out the typeface used. Thanks in advance.

Hey, back again with yet another race font question. I swear I used to be able to find these pretty easily. Original image can be found here: https://www.rundisney.com/events/disneyworld/wine-and-dine-half-marathon-weekend/events/10k-race The amperstand seems to be Becker Gothics Tuscan. But I'm stumped on 'Wine/Dine' and '10k'. I'd think those inverted notches would be fairly easy to find, they don't seem a common feature, but I am stumped. Any help is appreciated! Disney seems to prefer fonts in the Adobe catalog, FWIW.

thanks! look pretty accurate!

You should probably take a look at Google's Libre Caslon Text, and even Crimson Text. Both are free. A little different but still gorgeous, and free, Junicode

When we started using Indesign for our mag, we used Caslon, but now we can't access it. I want a similar font for our headings which was Caslon italic swash especially, as I liked the swirl on the top of the B serif etc. I am a home producer and find it all confusing. Can we buy it as a one off for myself and my sub editor, only 400 copies twice a year. A charity so not much money. Is there a suitable option?

Semplicità is an Italian geometric typeface, made c. 1928.

All of these fonts are available outside of Canva -- several are bundled with Mac, Windows OS, or MS Office. Lato and EB Garamond are open source. It's hard to have an opinion on a font outside of a subjective context. That said: I would never use Arial while Helvetica exists. And I'm not a big fan of the MS Office "C" fonts, which all feel a bit 'generic'.

Given how the letters fit together and that this is a logotype, I was ready to call it completely custom. But Retro Star may have been its starting point.

I'm trying to identify the font used in the attached "Jerky Munch" logo. It has a chunky, soft, retro 1970s feel with exaggerated rounded forms and tight spacing. Does anyone recognize it, or know of a close match? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

ITC Ronda Bold with a modified c comes close as well (Avant Garde Gothic Bold would also work for the c).

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could help identifying this font? I've used it previously but outlined my artwork and didn't keep open files! Closest I've found is All Round Gothic which is close but not quite right. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am sorry to "intrude" and hope this is Ok. I am looking to donate a piece of equipment that I think this community might be interested in. Otherwise it will be scrapped. My dad passed away a dozen years ago, and he left behind a lot of strange equipment, including a Berthold Transmix. I am not sure what that does, I vaguely recall seeing him use it in the early 1980s, but it has been standing quietly in a corner under a cover ever since. Anyone willing to pick it up can have it. It is located on the country side, approx half way between Landskrona and Eslöv, in South Sweden. Unfortunately, you will need to arrange the heavy lifting, as I don't have any forklift and the way out is down a 3 step staircase (No idea how my dad got it in). If you are interested, contact me directly on niclas AT hedhman.0rg or WhatsApp on +46760311880 Cheers Niclas

Thank you. I appreciated reading the article. It makes a lot of sense that stone cutters wouldn't necessarily reference typefaces from the day given how separate the different trades were. The article gave me some good terms to search and I've found some great reference material in various trade manuals that include alphabets, specimens, and letter proportions from the time. This one had some especially detailed breakdowns on how to build optically balanced characters and manage letter spacing. https://archive.org/details/textbookonplainl00jacorich/textbookonplainl00jacorich/page/n189/mode/1up. It goes into much more specificity about the fractional adjustments made for optical balance than was ever covered in my 3 undergrad typography classes I took while getting by BFA in graphic design. Edit: Also Apothicaire is a excellent reference. The 7 is closest reference I've found to the keystone.

This article by Ralf Herrmann (who runs this site) explains why what you posted has little to do with typefaces used for printing. Go to the section on Stonemasonry. For something modern but with late 19th-century roots and a similar vibe, try Apothicaire by Sudtipos.
