(x) Shakira website font - Endor {Mike F}

angellika

I was wondering if by any chance this is an actual existing font or just special made for her website? it is different from the one on her album cover so I thought there might be a slight chance :) ty in advance for any help.

I've already tried : http://www.identifont.com/identify.html and http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ with no real luck.

Font here : http://www.shakira.com

also attached it just in case it doesn't work :)

Well, since the "a" characters are different, I would suspect that this is custom work.

that's true.. I didn't really noticed

but the way they colored it and stuff I figured they could switch it up a bit to make it look more hand written but it might be a font *shrug*

thanks for pointing that out :) know of anything similar? more so of the S.. I love the S...

If you like that 'spiky' 'S', maybe youll love 'Brutaal' ( Daam ), by fellow Typophile Hrant H Papazian / The MicroFoundry, 'Kruella' + 'Shiraz', by Margo Chase / T.26, or even 'Priori' ( Serif, Alternate ), by Jonathan Barnbrook / Emigre..

There were modifications, especially to that S, but I think that Endor was definitely the base font. I like Dav's suggested fonts a lot better, though. Endor is just trying to mimic the lettering off of the Charmed TV series.

Brillant spot, Mike!

that one show, eh?

I really can't believe it's a real font I gave up after the first reply really..

Thank you so much, Mike!

Dav{formlos}, those are beautiful fonts also :) but I'm glad Mike found something so perfect because I am pretty broke hehe.

Nice find, Mike.. The interesting thing is, the original 'Charmed' logotype has even been designed by Margo Chase ( www.margochase.com > portfolio > entertainment > the wb network > charmed ).. :)

Hah! And from that a font is extrapolated, eh?

Thanks for the interesting pointer, Dav.

is the font underneath the Buffy logo {Kruella} ?

this is how I remembered the charming logo hehe..I didn't see it was remade.

Er, that certainly appears to be Kruella, doesn't it? I see that Endor is listed as a Buffy font on several fan sites, but, not being a fan myself, I have no idea what the inspiration for it was.

Grrr. another annoying portfolio site...
