  5. Foam seems to be based on Obliq, a Letraset typeface from 1984. Harold now offers it under the name Obligado.
  6. Found a match if not similar, I found it as Foam by Harold Lohner, but can't find it anywhere for purchase. All I found is this: FOAM computer fonts v1.0 2006 Harold Lohner [email protected] www.haroldsfonts.com
  7. I use Futura for titles and headings. I have always liked it. I don't think it's suitable for body text.
  8. I merged the accounts manually. (keeping the new one)

  10. I could not find a way to take over my old Typophile account. So, I created a new account, hoping I could merge it, but I still can't find anything. All I can find is this post. My typophile account name was levonk. Apparently, I have only 4 posts in that account. I don't know if the low number of posts is the problem.

  13. Yeah I love the design of Futura, a lot. An Italian typeface named Forma looks like a blend of Helvetica and Futura. I think Futura looks nice. I like using it. How would I get more into typography, since I used Canva. I like fonts like Futura, Gill Sans, Proxima Nova and Gotham for being geometric.
  14. Night Flight was a programming block on USA Network from 1981-1988.

  16. I like the design of this font, and it looks good. I have some example sentences. What are you thoughts on futura?

  21. Modern Gothic. ☞ https://www.allcapstype.com/typefaces/modern-gothic
  22. 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!

  25. 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
  26. 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

  28. 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.

  30. 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.
  31. 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.
  32. 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.
  33. 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
  34. 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?
