Aldo Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 Hi, I am fascinated by the typography of the first half of XX century. This is a gorgeous example. Can someone help me to find this font? Or maybe something similar? Thank you. Aldo
Solution Kevin Thompson Posted June 1, 2021 Solution Posted June 1, 2021 Sorry, but I strongly suspect that everything but the line “Amsterdam, 18 Maart 1947” is actually calligraphy, not typesetting. For the all-caps text, Nyfors is similar. Not finding anything particularly close for “De Nederlandsche Bank.” 1
Aldo Posted June 1, 2021 Author Posted June 1, 2021 Thank you, Kevin. Indeed looks calligraphy work, but… it's SO COOL!!! Cheers, Aldo
Kevin Thompson Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 Agreed. Here are more details about the note, including the designer’s name—J. Roozendaal. I haven’t had any luck tracking down any further information on him or her. 1
Aldo Posted June 28, 2021 Author Posted June 28, 2021 Dear group, Anyway, do you have a suggestion for a font that could be similar - I love the lowercase "a" Thanks, Aldo
Riccardo Sartori Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 2 hours ago, Aldo said: do you have a suggestion for a font that could be similar - I love the lowercase "a" Unfortunately the typefaces I found that shares a similar construction of |a| couldn’t really be considered similar for the rest (starting from the lack of Italics): Celtics Modern, Gandalf. It reminds me a little of the a from Windsor (and its contemporaries and derivatives) or Milton, but, again, nothing calligraphic. 1
