I was pointed to this forum for help by Mike Yanega. Can anyone identify this font?

Thanks!

Well, it’s almost certain that the “y” character is reversed… but as for the font?…

Thumbnail Text SG wouldn’t be a terrible start.. but I don’t think it’s 100% correct.

wow … how can this be ??
I checked their site and it has nothing to do with SGI whatsover, but from I saw there (in image-text links) helped me ID the typeface as SGI ‘s custom designed font, by fellow Typophile Joe Stitzlein for Landor Associates.

The “y” is not flipped, that’s how it appears in the typeface.

I think someone should make them aware of this, SGI typeface is exclusively licensed to SGI. For reference, check out www.sgi.com.

Yikes! Great catch. I will let them know. I’ve been tasked to help them redesign their site, I think the person who made the last one was from somewhere in Europe.

Thanks for the info.

is this the same font for sale on this site?
