This is how it works:

A portion of a glyph is published in the Type ID Pop Quiz.
Try to identify the glyph and the typeface. To win, you need to name at least:
1. typeface
2. weight
3. character/glyph
Show off your knowledge by casually mentioning additional trivia, like who designed it, when and by whom was it (first) published, and other cool stuff to impress your fellow Typophiles with.
The winner produces a new challenge -- a portion of a glyph, black on white background, presented in a 288 x 288 pixel square, including a R204G000B00 1 pixel border.
The person who posts a challenge can't win the next game.

In case of any disputes, I will act as judge, jury and avenging angel of wrath.

Good luck everyone, and have fun. ;^)

With respectful thanks to the originator of this utterly useless but highly entertaining waste of time, the often imitated but never duplicated Cheshire Dave.

don't you think this g is just adorable? reminds me of a little ant for some reason.

Bald Condensed30 December 2005 · 13:33

Aw c'mon, was it so easy!? Damn! :^D

Pieter van Rosmalen30 December 2005 · 14:44

It's mine turn isn't it? Because I'm not able to answers questions the next few days, I will post a portion of a glyph and will send the name of the typeface etc to Yves (if that's no problem) so he can answer the questions about the glyph. Alright?

Wrong glyph.

Bald Condensed31 December 2005 · 04:15

Correct glyph, but you'll need to give me more than that! :^D

cheshiredave1 January 2006 · 03:34

I've been doing so poorly at this game lately, I'll settle for just getting the glyph right. Baby steps, you know.

Lower case d Fresco Sans Bold (serie Fresco Sans 3)

Bald Condensed4 January 2006 · 00:53

Yup. :^)

André Simard4 January 2006 · 10:20

Here the new one

antiphrasis4 January 2006 · 10:22

Lowercase 'h' with a big trap. :-)

André Simard4 January 2006 · 10:30

It's a lowercase h, but I would say it's more a part of the design than a trap.

Looks like type designers are getting a little X-Acto-happy on their fonts these days...

André Simard5 January 2006 · 05:34

Clue: this french type designer lives in the French Alps and has started his own typefoundry.

antiphrasis5 January 2006 · 10:21

It's Alinea Serif by Thierry Puyfoulhoux of Présence Typo.

André Simard5 January 2006 · 13:07

Right on Lauri! Is the clue was helpfull?

antiphrasis5 January 2006 · 14:22

Andre,

I wouldn't have got it without the clue. I found out about Présence Typo on Google, and I looked through all the fonts on the site, but didn't see anything that matched the sample, but many of the h's had the same notch so I knew I had the right designer, so I checked other sites to see if he had designed any more fonts and came across Alinea Serif. You're right about it not being a trap!

I'll have a new challenge ready in a couple of hours.
