Hi folks,

I saw this ID request today, and it's been driving me crazy. I know I have seen this font, but I can't for the moment recall where I saw it. I even think I may have this font in my collection, which pretty much means it would be a commercial font, not freeware.

Anybody recognize it?Claudes sample

It's called Luxemburg.

That's it Adriano! And I do have the font, but with no annotation in the file itself about the source. Is Luxemburg the original name, and 'Luxembourg' the 'clone'? (my file has the latter spelling).

Anyway, thanks for the quick ID.

Mike,
That Dafont version is actually spelled Luxembourg also.

I found two other Mac-to-PC conversions (Alltype and
Reasonable Solutions) online and here (a bit less than
halfway down; Fonts Disk #6) is an offering of a 1995 Mac
floppy disk that includes Luxembourg. Perhaps the original?

The fonts on those disks bring names like Mike Allard,
Marty Bee, Rick Mueller, David Rakowski, Sam Wang, and
others to mind.

Yes, It's Luxembourg, sorry. The first time I got this font was also a MAC file back in 95 on the Irreligious Layout (from Moonspell) I'll ask the original designer where did he got it. I have 3 versions of this font, the MAC, the dafont & the Alltype one...
