Looking for the book title font on the cover of Transcendent Kingdom - seeking to identify the font name. Thank you.

This one is a puzzler: Washington Bold, has the right shapes, but it’s heavier than the sample. Washington Medium is both too light and has wrong details on some letters (for example |K|M|R|). And a Semi-Bold doesn’t seem to exist.

 

I think you have it, Riccardo.

Here are the glyph sets on Daylight Fonts.

Seems to match the old URW version called Washington D / Washington Becker, but not finding a purchase source for it.

If you've ever owned a copy of Macromedia FreeHand then you will have this font - 5 weights, this is the 'Regular' (...I know, I'm showing my age 😀)

Les, do you remember the name of the Macromedia version?

😀 Thank you very much for your help and interesting to learn more.

Hi Kevin, unfortunately I can't be more specific than 5.5 or 7.0 as I no longer have access to a disk drive. Just this year I went from a 12 year old MacPro running Mavericks to an iMac Pro running Catalina, sans disk drive so I made a point at that time of copying all the assets that came with those old programs (including Corel Draw which came with the entire Bitstream library).

As an addendum to the above and a FYI for anyone in this situation. I managed to borrow a super drive in an attempt to check my old software disks. Turns out Apple has dropped support for reading 'HFS Standard' and 'HFS+' formatted disks in Catalina (they will not mount)!!! 😡

I think Kevin was interested in the name of the font bundled with FreeHand…

Ahhh OK (sound of penny dropping 🙂). Washington D (D for 'Display' as opposed to T for Text - it's a URW thing) Extra Light, Light, Regular, Bold & Black.
