That's so bad it's gotta be a freebie.

Hideous, but unfortunately I still need to track it down.

The ampersand looks like it was made from Serpentine's.

Don't know this one and tend to agree with Nick, most probably a freebie or at least heavily customized. The only one that came to my mind is Gas.

right on Ryuk. amazingly, not free.

The guy's come a long way, though - Satura is amazing.

Thanks defiantone :) Right, Gas is not free but that's also not the right one. Some letters remain totally different though: /S, /E and /&. May be they simply recreated these letters from Gas too.

interesting. searched identifont to find more info, and they show 2 foundries. the one linked above and Fountaintype. visiting their link reveals the following:

plus, i wouldn't put it past the HRRA to modify it for themselves. looks better.

Gas isn't quite it, but I think it was the source font for whatever customization happened. At any rate, it'll work fine for my purposes. Thanks everyone!

i wouldn't put it past the HRRA to modify it for themselves.

As long as they don't redistribute it.

BTW some people redraw a font once they develop qualms about how they originally made it... In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Fountain has asked T26 to stop distributing Gas, but were rejected. But it's just a hunch.

Larry, if you can wait for the more legit version, please do.

both publishers list Peter Bruhn as designer.

Yes, I know.
