Colin, you're having too much fun not showingthe glyph. :-)

partial email notification came back on.
anybody else.

test.

Email notification was down for me for a day or so last week, but it seems to be working for me now. But I have a sneaking suspicion that Yves somehow hacked into the system and disabled it, effectively reducing his competition. I'm on to you, buddy.

Last week I tried to do some email hacks, effectively breaking the system. Although, I don't blame you for casting the suspicious eye toward our resident waffle.

Next time I'll be more forthcoming and fess up if I sew up the patient with the wrench still inside.

It's an ampersand.

BTW, I've compiled a "Leader Board" for the ID Pop Quiz.
Anyone want to see it, or should I keep it to myself?

Interested

but perhaps, open a new topic to kept this one clean.

> Does anyone know what letter it is now?

Hey, this isn't Letter ID Pop Quiz.

--

I thought my email notification was OK after having been down last week, but now I see a bunch of messages here I'd never seen... That's worse than if it hadn't come back at all!! :-/

hhp

Post it Eduardo!

email notification went back down as soon as it was up
...isn't Yves sleeping right now.
I think he has been cleared as a suspect.


to the resident tricksters: Is there a trick to follow what's
happening without email notification.

We need more, Colin. ;-)

Wimps!

Okay, this is the last of this view. It's at the same point size, just shifted over a bit. Maybe I'll give a different view next time.

easier

Anyone want verbal clues?

poetica

colin you are evil! =P

Not Poetica.

Thanks. I'm going to sleep now, but if no one gets it by tomorrow I have a few more clues I can give.

yes. well. i'm going to be very sad when this is id'd, because i recognize this. AGH!! =P

Good morning. Centuar Italic Alternate.

Here you go kiddies. Knock yourselves out.

Jonisch Light?

or Lichte Jonisch

I was thinking Dennis Ortiz-Lopez, but I can't find a specific typeface of his that matches this.

Grand Canyon RR Campfire

Oops. Sorry, I was snoozing there. Stan nailed it. Red Rooster's Grand Canyon Campfire it is. Not to be confused with the Land Fill or Toxic Sludge weights.

Extra points if you can name the film it was inspired by.
clue

Peregroy?

Based on 101 Dalmations?

Correct: 101 extra points!

How fitting that a "snoopy" would know that :-)

Ooops forgot to add it's a upper case D. Anyways, here's my contribution

snoopy1

Please forgive this newbie. In my previous post, the upper case D, I was referring to is for Peregroy not for the new picture I posted.

suspect that it's the U from Neuland

Wow you guys are amazing. Stan got it! It's the P22 Koch Nueland.

P22 Koch Neuland!

Damn, you got me.

I was trying it at P22's Typecaster as you posted!

Nice work.

Dialup is for chumps I guess. Back to making fonts.

Stan, two IDs in one day, way to go.

bj

Hey, I thought you should get it, bj -- you were there first, just slightly off with the cut...

Anyway, moving on. I've always liked this face, but have never been too crazy about this eccentric character...

What's all this gossiping behind my back?! And Jared,
I already warned Hrant before: Joan Spiekermann's the
only person on earth who has the right to call me waffle.

I'm sorry guys, but I suck at hacking, almost as much
as I suck at playing this game: either I haven't got a
clue or I show up two days late. Bummer...

BTW I usually go to sleep around 3 pm Typophile time
and start my night nurse/cleaning lady duties around
your midnight.

No guesses? Too hard? So easy that I've shocked everyone to silence? Or did everyone just abandon this thread after Colin's ampersand?

The name of the font from the preceding quiz might provide a clue if necessary.

clue2

Hmmm, first thing that popped into my mind was the 8 from Acropolis, but no match there. It does remind me of P22 Arts and Crafts for some reason.

Not P22, but it is an 8.

David Thometz's Seriatum Alt.

Hey, that's pretty close! But no.

Actually this typeface is about 70 years older than Seriatum.

Hmm ... thought I had it in Font Diner's Guest Check (Brown Bag set), but the stroke is a bit too heavy.


p22 arts & crafts

Designed by Rudolf Koch?

Mike -- Guest Check was clearly inspired by this font, so credit to you there. Getting very close I think...

Not P22. Not Koch. The hint is in the other word. :-)

Is it available as a digital typeface?

Yes, it's available as a digital typeface.

Jared -- you got it! URW++ calls their version "Newport Land," explaining the hinted similarity in name to "Neuland."

Newport Land - uh, never mind. :-)

Uh - (looking around, in a panic) I feel like the waterboy who just caught the opposing kickoff.

Hoo haa!

Gotham @?

Tankard's Aspect?

hhp

anisette petite?

> still no
