Member Cha… Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 traditional but magical. classic but futuristic. a great font for a cacao brand i'm planning on creating - more as an art product than a business. a labour of love/(hopefully beauty)! I'm guessing this font is custom? Has anyone come across it? Wouldn't mind paying for it specifically as it works so well - but open to others too! any help would be gratefully received. Many thanks. http://purple.fr/ Link to comment
Member Ign… Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 A kind of close is Letterhead Becker Classic, more in the style in that place too. Link to comment
Member Ign… Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Whatever it is, I think it could have been elongated from the middle/cross bar, I see that “Y” a bit strange, could be wrong though. Link to comment
Member Cha… Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Ignacio!! This was super useful thanks so much. I've had a play and think this font will work for now - gonna sit with it for 24 before buying the font to be sure (I've just used this for a test) - hopefully will do until I can get a pro on it to make it a little more 'unique' / 'future'. 1 Link to comment
Member Gec… Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Another typeface that might also be a nice starting point: OPTI Protea I have also seen it by another name: Aegina Edited October 4, 2018 by Ralf Herrmann removed links by request Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Yes, the font for Purple fashion magazine is custom. @Gecko, please keep in mind that almost all OPTI fonts are unauthorised copies of pre-existing designs. Case in point: MGB Patrician. Since the OPTI version is often the only available digital interpretation available of certain typefaces (albeit not in this case), I would leave the choice of using it to personal ethics. However, both sites you link to offer free downloads of commercial fonts, and that is not okay. Link to comment
Member Gec… Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Sorry Riccardo I don't mean to step on anyones toes. I bought the entire collection of OPTI fonts on a CD many years ago for my commercial use. Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 My only concern was to add a bit of historical context to your otherwise spot on suggestion of alternatives for the font in the original post. And, as I said, the problem are the links, not the typefaces. Link to comment
