Fellow employee’s brother’s wife wants to know what the name of the typeface is being used by Late Night with Conan O’Brien. I know I know this one. :^/

unknown

argh… it’s that one that looks like spumoni and isn’t… on the tip of my tongue too.

unknown

Do you mean this, Tiff?

Looks very similar to Stymie, but more monoline.

unknown

I think she’s referring to the jaunty bodoni-esque font for the Late Night logo. The one that’s not quite spumoni.

unknown

I think this is free or bundle or something… I don’t remember; the same as the movie Serendipity (2001)

unknown

Oh, you mean this —

I usually keep my web security settings set high so I don’t always see all animation and flash files.

unknown

Yep that one, Norbert.

unknown

….and Pixie (Solotype)

unknown

= edit: sorry. d-post =

unknown

Yep - Pixie. Digitized by David Rakowski as Pixie and by Panache Graphics as Heatwave.

FYI — the old twentieth century lettering term for bouncy baseline informal alphabets was Frisky which still seems to work well if used as a search term on MyFonts.com

Thanks all!
