Parangon Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hello, I have looked everywhere (identifont, myfonts, Luc Devroye's encyclopedia, etc.) and used multiple font identification tools to find this beautiful chancery typeface but to no avail. It is close to Poetica, Chicory, Arno Italic... but still different. It is used on the attached poster. I would be most grateful if someone could help me. Thank you for your time. Link to comment
Greg Yerbury Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 It could be Poetica 1 Link to comment
Parangon Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Thank you for your reply Greg ! I initially thought it was Poetica but it's definitely not. Link to comment
Ralf Herrmann Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Who made that poster? When was that poster made? Where did you get the image from? … The more we know, the easier it is to solve such requests. Link to comment
Kevin Thompson Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 The exhibit dates from 2017, and the poster seems to have been created by the folks at The Grolier Club. The rest of the type on the poster is Centaur, and the more calligraphic headline bears a resemblance to Centaur Italic, but I am not finding it anywhere. Link to comment
Parangon Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hello Ralf, I don't know who made the poster (possibly Jerry Kelly from the Grolier Club). The exhibition lasted from September to November 2017. I got the image from flickr but it is also available on the Grolier Club website. Link to comment
Parangon Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hey Kevin; Thank you for your contribution. Indeed, the headline italics are not Arrighi... Link to comment
George Thomas Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 @Parangon -- Since you mentioned him, have you considered contacting Mr. Kelly and asking him about it? Link to comment
