Member cwd… Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Looking for the book title font on the cover of Transcendent Kingdom - seeking to identify the font name. Thank you. Link to comment
Solution Member Ric… Posted October 4, 2021 Solution Share Posted October 4, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment
Member Kev… Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment
Member Les… Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 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 😀) 1 Link to comment
Member Kev… Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Les, do you remember the name of the Macromedia version? Link to comment
Member cwd… Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 😀 Thank you very much for your help and interesting to learn more. Link to comment
Member Les… Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 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).

Member Les… Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 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)!!! 😡 1 Link to comment

Member Les… Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment
