It was indeed the time period hint that helped...

Here's the next:

Yes.

"&" from Parkinsons Hotel, or maybe Amboy?

That was a quick one! Yes, Jim Parkinson's fabulous Hotel. Good job, Nicolai.

It must be my lucky day... :-)

Here�s a new challenge:

Wild guess... FB Garage Gothic?

No...

E+F Praxis?

No, not Praxis either...

Same character, a bit smaller

Another sample?
Any ideas what character it might be?

Lowercase k?

Correct!!!

:-)

It's very close to E+F Expressa Light, if it wasn't for the rounded corners and the slight flare to the upstroke.

No, not Expressa either, sorry...
Here is a little more:

Myfonts choked on all my frankenletters:


I'm KO'd � Randy

Nice start, Randy -- looking forward to your complete version of the typeface!

Nicolai, I think it's time for a hint...

Let me start by saying that Randys 4th k is surprisingly
close to the one from my "mystery font"!!!

I am not good at giving hints...
This time I will not make any qoutations ;-)

This typeface was originally intented for use in children�s books.
It has developed from being a plain sans serif to this semi serifed thing.
A couple of years ago it was finally digitized...

Please tell me if you want to see the entire character for comparison

Alright, it is getting late here in DK and I better get some sleep.
I�ll post the entire character in the morning - unless someone tells me not to...

Here�s the full character:

Another hint:
The foundry can celebrate its 10th anniversary next year.

The foundry can celebrate its 10th anniversary next year.

That describes Tiro, but I don't recall drawing this particular glyph.

It�s not from Tiro, sorry.

Another hint:
The person who digitized this font also runs the foundry.

Is this from UK?

No, but it is european...

Dutch or French?

Neither Dutch nor French!

Another hint:
Recently some of you guys started a thread about buying fonts from this foundry...
Among others Hrant and Tiffany recomended these "special" fonts...

Storm, Czech.,

Alternate k, Juvenis?

That�s right Eduardo!!!
Congratulations!

Even though I posted an alternate character
I don�t think I broke any "rules" this time, since all
showings of Juvenis include this k... Anybody disagree?

Don't worry, Nikolai.
Now to our next challenge:

Portugal City Road Maps?

Dalliance?

Uppercase B?

:-)
Not Dalliance...

B = true

good one Tiff!

I have to kick myself on that one ...
i've mentioned Madisonian here and elsewhere
several times. And I recently spotted it in the
Solotype catalog. ~doh.

It's Madisonian Bold actually, not Light.
Anyway, good job. Your turn, Tiff. :-)

e ?

lc -l

B ?

This is another of Miss Tiffany's cleverly misleading crop jobs. I've no idea what it is, but I'm amused by the thought that it might be the kind of Polish ew that would send Adam Twardoch into fits.

lower-case f?

q or p?

design by Greg Thompson?

I propose a new rule (pun intended):
All croppings must show a border (like Eduardo�s post)

I say this because I have no idea how to turn that thing into a q. Here is one ugly duckling:
