Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

I will post another view this evening. Sadly, I do not have the mystery face at my disposal right now.

Bodega serif

Presence

> Bodega serif

Nope. But an interesting guess.

>Presence

And nope.

Hint: 1970's

New sample coming soon.

1970's? But that doesn't look anything like the X in STYX's logo!

It's not the X in Roxy Music for that matter, Chesh. Or even the in one in the Climax Blues Band.

Here you go...

1970's.....

Praxis - 1977 - Gerard Unger?

[edit: doh! too late]

Nice, David.

Bingo David. I should have offered another hint rather than post the sample, eh? Was it the soft corners that gave it away?

honest, no. i posted my answer before i saw your sample.


"1970's" - gave it away

==

no.

Filosophia. Screenshot. Enlarged. Resampled. Gausian Blur 3 Pixels. Of course!
Bauer Bodoni. Screenshot. Enlarged. Resampled. Gausian Blur 4 Pixels. Yes?

:-)

I'd think a crispy sample is in order, unless that's a hinted hint.

There must be something wrong with my eyes this morning. That sample is moving

And speaking of band names from the seventies... Outpost Swede !!!

no. no. no. no. no. no. no.

...unless that's a hinted hint." - yes

And another odd thing is, the �TransCal 50s script� thread - which hasn't had a new post since the 19th of October - is now at the top of the list.

Things that make you go hmmm...

ok. here you are.......

Is this the same typeface, or a new challenge?
Or a different typeface from the same family?

I'd guess Peignot...

>Is this the same typeface, or a new challenge?

Indeed it appears that once this poor typeface got its life in focus, all of its serifs fell off.

a new challenge...

....and no, no.

Radiant Bold Condensed?

no.

[d-post.sorry]

The cap W from Letraset's Carlton, perhaps?

Yes?

yes

I'm curious, David, about your previous challenge.
What typeface was that?

Very elegantly won, Grant.

"what typeface was that?" --

paganini light, 1928, Butti & Bertieri.

>Very elegantly won, Grant.

Ah, 'twas nothing. Thank you.

And right back to the action... here's another one to chew on, kids.

poetica - chancery/swash?

[d-post]

Nope, not Poetica.

bordeaux?

oooppsss

again....ooppsss. t-post. sorrry.

No³ !

inverted question?

No sir. Part of the standard 26 lowercase characters.

Italic y?

>Italic y?

You�re getting warmer.

Same character, same point size, another view.

Looks like some weird typeface...

Just to clarify, by �same typeface� I meant the same as my first example - not same as �italic y�.

Looks like a lowercase 'i'.

Nope. Not an �i� either.

The bits are rotated, yes? I'm thinking they're parts of a lowercase x.

>The bits are rotated, yes?

Actually, they aren't rotated at all.

Another view, perhaps?
