Is the glyph a � (florin)?

I don't think this is quite right, but I'm going to go ahead and make
my guess. Habanos- the capital F

H; Typo Upright; M F Benton

My guess is the capital H in AT French Script. Also
known, before the Agfa marriage, as French Script MT.

Designer? Said to be "derived from" Typo Upright
� and it sure looks like it.

Mike has it right: it is indeed the H from French Script. Nathan deserves special mention for Typo Upright.

Okay, Mike, your turn.

Indeed, thank you Nathan. You were the reason I turned
to my notebook of fancy script fonts first.

OK, here's my offering. You might want to nail down the
glyph first.

Something from ATF's Bamboo, perhaps?

An A from something of P22's?

Not Bamboo (or any of its aliases).
Not an 'A'.

lower-case f?

lc something ... but not an 'f'.

"b" or perhaps "h"?

Not a 'b' or 'h'.

And yes, this is a typeface from a well known foundry
and it is available from MyFonts.

"k" or "p" from P22 Art Nouveau?

Ohhh ... so close, Nicolai!

Not a 'k' or 'p'.

And P22 Art Nouveau? You're right there, but that isn't
a font, it's a font set. A couple more MyFonts clicks to
nail the font and glyph.

Surely you'll be credited with the ID from this point on,
Nicolai (but that's not up to me).

My final guess is "e" from P22 Art Nouveau Bistro...

Bingo! Here's the whole thing:



Your turn, Nicolai.

Great call Nicolai! I was looking at P22 Art Nouveau,
but somehow missed the lc "e". This was a great glyph
Mike - it was misleading because of its uniqueness.
Can't wait for the next puzzler.

I agree with Lisa - it sure was a good one Mike!

Here�s my challenge:

Are we looking for a lowercase k?
Uppercase B?

What can I say..?

Close, almost there...

Uppercase K?

Correct!

Conduit?

no, not Conduit...

It�s not Reform either, sorry!

You have to keep on searching...

Please tell me when you need hints etc...

I thought it looked PsyOptic too, and I thought you'd nailed it, kicking myself 'cause I'd looked at Reform before your post, too and hadn't called it.

Glad I didn't...!

OK guys, I just realized (after having read though the
rules of the game) that this might be a bit too difficult.

Here�s another view of the character

+ some info:
It�s a customized typeface family consisting of 12 fonts.

Underware's Stool Regular Italic

We have a winner!!!
Congratulations Grant!



Actually it was Light Italic, but I take that as a correct answer.
The sample is from the pdf you can find by following Grant�s link

Btw, please tell me if I broke any "rules" by posting this?

I just think that we should avoid posting excerpts (texts) from websites...

I agree with Eduardo - rewrite the text in your own words, otherwise it's just too easy... one can just go and search for it on google.

You�re right... My mistake
But at least someone guessed it!

If I ever get the chance to post a challenge again,
I�ll try not to quote my source

:-)

Hey, all's fair in love and type identification. I'll gladly take this match regardless of my obvious propensity to Google� things. However, I agree that keeping things disguised adds a bit more challenge to the challenge.

Here's the next one for you, kiddies.

Well, I'm stumped so far. Is it:

a. the tail of a g?
b. the tail of a j?
c. the tail of a y?
d. a real close-up of the top of a C?
e. something else altogether?

All my passes at handwriting and other informal scripts have turned up nothing so far...

c. the tail of a y

I could use a hint by now...

Can it be purchased though Veer?

No, it�s not at Veer.

Independent foundry. The foundry is represented on MyFonts, but not this particular �restful� face.

Stuart Sandler's Al's Motor-Inn?

Mr Dave nails it. Checkout is at noon. Enjoy your stay.

Very relaxing. The massaging bed was particularly nice.

A very good puzzle, Grant, and a perfect hint -- neither too easy nor too difficult.

Herewith, the next puzzle:

Something from AtomicMedia?

No, sorry, Eduardo!

4 from Psy/Ops Plexo?

[edit: I guess I should also say Linostyle Component A]

Thanks Yves. Really though, you're too modest - if I'm even in a league, it's the farm league ;-)

Erm, I'm on my way out of the office in not too long. It'd be rude to post before an official ruling from Chesh, so if I don't get a new quiz up tonight I'll do it first thing tomorrow morning. Or feel free to appoint someone else in my absence.

Nice job, Nathan! Go ahead and give us something to fret over till you're back in the office. (Technically it was block style, not lino style, but the portion of the glyph I showed is identical in both, so it's a wash.)

And Yves, I have only one word for you.

Pshaw!

Alright ladies & germs. Here's it is:

That sir, is the n from Mendoza Roman.

Randy

Correction. The r from Mendoza Roman.
