John R C Posted May 17 Posted May 17 Hi all, I would like some help with fonts used in a BBC web video from 2005. Here are screenshots from said video (sorry about the picture quality but it was 2005). I think I've managed to identify most of them, but would like to have a second opinion from the experts on here; and also have help to narrow down some to specific fonts within a family. 1964 > Cooper Black 1965 > ?? 1966 > ?? 1967 > in Eurostile family 1968 > in Eurostile family 1969 > Arial 1970 > ?? 1971 > Maiandra 1972 > Cooper Black 1973 > Britannic Bold 1974 > Budmo Jiggler 1975 > Futura Extra Bold 1976 > Arial Rounded or Helvetica Rounded 1977 > ?? 1978 > Arial Black 1979 > Street Cred 1980 > Hobo 1981 > Computer Regular 1982 > ?? 1983 > ?? (similar to Tahoma) 1984 > Stencil 1985 > Arial Rounded or Helvetica Rounded 1986 > Bauhaus 1987 > Segoe UI 1988 > ?? 1989 > ?? Thank you in advance 🙂
John R C Posted May 21 Author Posted May 21 Have I done something wrong or broken the rules? I opened my query four days ago and no one has replied. I thought that the experts here would at least be able to confirm some of the 18 fonts I identified myself, if not the 8 unknown fonts. Am I wrong?
Ralf Herrmann Posted May 21 Posted May 21 It’s probably best to ask specifically about one or two fonts. Asking about 26 at once might be a bit too much for our volunteers helping with these kinds of questions. 1
Bjørn Edvard Torbo Posted May 22 Posted May 22 16 hours ago, John R C said: OK, I apologise. How should I proceed from here? Dude, Ralph just told you: “It’s probably best to ask specifically about one or two fonts.” I for one am not gonna quit my day job in order to have the time to figure out a ton of fonts that I don’t even find all that appealing in the first place. 1
MissNobody Posted May 22 Posted May 22 To break the awkwardness, do you have a better image source? Perhaps a screenshot per font, instead of all-in-one screenshot? Other than that I would pick two fonts you want the most, and let's go from there. Ideally with better resolution images. 😉 2
John R C Posted May 23 Author Posted May 23 That looks like it. Thank you, MissNobody. 👍 Do you have a link to its website?
Solution MissNobody Posted May 23 Solution Posted May 23 I can't find any legit source. If you google 'ComputerNarrow', you'll find it. 1
