George Thomas Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 This type was on eBay and I wanted to help the seller identify it. It has already sold, but a name for it has not been found. I have checked through all my American source books and still, no ID. A friend posted it for me to the APA letterpress forum so more knowledgeable letterpress people have looked at it but no one can ID it. Some comments were: 1. Probably is of European origin, and probably German. 2. Definitely not a classic, more probably 1950's-60's. Maybe Italian or French? 3. The love child of American Uncial and Comic Sans! It is 16 point, no pin mark on the type. I asked for a pic of the foot and nick but have not been given one. I cropped all the duplicate letters out of the image to keep file size down. It is just a basic A-Z (a-z?), single case, no numbers and no punctuation. I would like to ID it for future reference since it is such an odd face and has stumped so many people. All help much appreciated.
MissNobody Posted November 5, 2022 Posted November 5, 2022 I've cleaned up the font a bit and it reminds me of ITC Korigan, mainly because of 'D'. But ultimately I cannot find an exact match. Unknown.svg 1
