mut Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 Looking for some help identifying this font I found used for this old samco Logotype Much Thanks in advance!
Riccardo Sartori Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Lacking a better sample, it’s hard to tell how much the embroidery affects the weight and shape of the letters. Therefore, it could be a custom logo or a typeface embedded in the embroidery machine itself. In any case, it seems to belong to (or be inspired by) the News/Trade/Franklin Gothic general family.
Tomthumb Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 The typeface looks abit like Dada Grotesk, but like Riccardo says the embroidery looks to have effected it. 2
Riccardo Sartori Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 @Tomthumb is right in pointing to revivals of Aurora Grotesk: other than the |a|, they also have the slightly squared |c|o|. But is hard to find such a closed |s| (unless, as the weight distribution may suggest, it’s from a different typeface). See, for example, the fairly recent Slavia: download at MyFonts That said, without a better sample or more details (age, provenance, etc.) it’s hard to find better suggestions. 1
mut Posted April 15, 2019 Author Posted April 15, 2019 Dada Grotesk by Optimo seems to be really close Thanks Tomthumb! anche Slavia Medium é molto simile Grazie Riccardo
