Member Sal… Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hi, I'm looking for the name of the font used for the word "Gentleman's" or something similar. I was thinking Franklin Gothic or Trade Gothic, but the G and M are different. I saw this over DesignInspiration. It seems to be a poster about a bicycle race. I tried to follow up on the website provided there to get more info, but it sent me to a Japanese site. So no luck there. 😞 Thanks for your help! -- Salvador Link to comment
Member Gec… Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Gill Sans bold condensed - but the apostrophe is from another typeface. Link to comment
Ralf Herrmann Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I can’t see how Gill Sans is a match. My first guess was Gotham, but the letterforms in this specific word are so generic, there are sooo many fonts that can be used as an alternative. Link to comment
Member Gec… Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Like this: everything close except the apostrophe Link to comment
Ralf Herrmann Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 But look at the top of the G – not a match. Look at the spine of the S – not a match. The apostrophe is a further hint. It’s rather unlikely that it was swapped. Rather it points to the idea, that a different typeface with a matching apostrophe was being used. Link to comment
Solution Member Ric… Posted December 20, 2018 Solution Share Posted December 20, 2018 Seconded. Gotham Extra Narrow and Gotham: 2 Link to comment
Member Gec… Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Salvador asked for something similar: "I'm looking for the name of the font used for the word "Gentleman's" or something similar". But I agree Gotham is certainly closer. 1 Link to comment
Member Sal… Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Both are great! Thank you. As far as the resemblance of the letterforms, I can see it way clearer in Gotham Extra Narrow, but I think the height of Gill Sans Bold Condensed is what I'd go with. I'll use them both as a reference point. Thanks again for your help. 🙂 Link to comment
