Compressed romans used for Alcohol % and volume info on these French wine labels?

Robert Elliott




Hello Typophile

If any of you knowledgable folk can identify the typefaces used for the alcohol percentage and volume on the wine labels uploaded in this post I would be awfully grateful. I particularly love the one used on the Krug label, as it has the lightest footprint. Any suggestions for compressed romans with a more charigraphic nature rather than transitional/modern which would be suitable for the alcohol percentage and volume would be greatly appreciated.

Moët & Chandon is squooshed Times. Bertrand-Delespierre is some squooshed Century, maybe Century Schoolbook. Lanson is some heavily squooshed Garamond, maybe Garamond No. 3. Krug is even more heavily squooshed Diotima.

R.: Thank you -- you nailed it. Very impressive. It seems I need practicing on identifying fonts once squooshed. See above screenshot.

You’re welcome!
