Typophile

node 2440

I've recently found some lovely faces. I do hope someone can help identify them? I'd be delighted. The first is from the Icelandic newspaper Morgunbladid:

<img> The second comes (oddly) from some sort of herb advert. For ages, it was wonderfully used in the british Total Film magazine though I could never figure out what it was.

Thanks so much for the help!

Nathan, I don't think img tags work on Typophile... Use the "upload attachment" button instead.

Thanks. Let me try again! #1: Morgunbladid Newspaper #2: Total Film

The lower one is Cronos, from Slimbach and Adobe.

hrm, ive looked at cronos before, its very similar, but not quite it (notice the w's are different, e.g. in the 'newsweek'), thanks though.

Oops. Today Sans

I guess Hrant & co were right about Cronos being so influenced by today sans.

aw, splendid, i've found it! it's Volker Küster's Today Sans Serif http://www.veer.com/results.asp?image=EFT0000415

haha, sorry, you beat me to it, much appreciated.

Heads are set in Sumner Stone's Arepo. More info in this thread.

Wow, Arepo is elegant. I like the way it has touches of old style in with the bodoni look. I wonder why it isn't used more.
