Hello!

phone

Please identify... Is this a font? All three 1's look identical.

Thank you!!

My 1st thoughts were Legende and Codex.
I went through my Calligraphics, Old Styles
and even Formal Scripts, but no luck.

Something from Scriptorium maybe? Dunno.

Hey Yves � I always wondered about those
little "Votes: 0 (Vote!)" items under each
posters name and info. I just made you a
5-Star-Wonderdude with my one vote!

I'll have to do the same for Stephen next
time he appears.

Here's a thought. It looks a lot like ITC Humana Serif that's been blurred down and edited slightly (like the '2'). Here's a look at these numbers in the Medium weight: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/itc-humana-serif/humana-serif-itc-medium/testdrive.html?s=261-7711&p=48

See the resemblance in the basic letterforms?

Yves, I think I should get partial credit for picking Donaldson's "Humana Serif". I recognized his lettering, just missed the actual font. (Figured this was worth a try ;-))

Maybe ;-). But that's not the case here.
Typefaces identified after 48h weren't included
in the ID average time calculus, just to reduce
the distortions in the results...

I would like to suggest that this scoring system overlooks the difficulty factor. I think the points should be based only on the number of guesses made, not on the time it takes. That factor is already considered when you award points to the first one who names the font correctly, but if three or four tries are needed then it seems more points should be awarded, because of the difficulty in making the correct identification.
Otherwise you are favoring the person with the fastest server, or the most time to just sit and wait for new posts. By the time I see the first e-mail that there is a new font posted for ID, there are already three posts with it to ID the thing, so of course I would like a system that puts a bit less emphasis on speed.
Just my two cents. :-)

(spoken in a small voice) Oh... well.... never mind.
