You know, 'guess what the glyph looks like' is much more fun than 'name the typeface'. Here are a couple of ways I would go about making a lowercase q from Tiffany's image:

maybe plaza? alan meeks? 1975?

It looks like something that Jonathan Barnbrook would make, but I can't find any samples that match...

Phil Grimshaw's Rennie Mackintosh Bold?

Nicely done, Nathan!

Thanks. Now I feel like all that time I frittered away (when I should have been sifting EULAs ;-) wasn't entirely wasted. I'll have a new challenge in just a bit.

Here goes. Unfortunately I'm not as cunning as Miss Wardle. I haven't yet mastered the dragon-style cropping technique :-) Incidentally, I'll have spotty web access this weekend - apologies in advance if I hold you guys up. I guess Yves (as moderator) or John Hudson (as quiz resurrector) could declare a winner to keep the ball rolling...

UC "Q"?

Yes, indeed.

Smells a bit Lithos-y. Is it a Grecian-inspired face too?

Nope.

Man! i am glad the Quiz is back again... however i haven't managed to id any font yet.... but one of these days!! The best thing is that you get to see some new fonts...

like the Madisonian font.. very odd look but special..

How 'bout a different glyph?

Hmm... Myriad?

Negative. Designed by another Brit.

Bingo. Good job, Yves! Your turn.

How the HEX did you manage to spot that one Yves?
Holy Macaroni... YOU're The MAN.. !

You know, I thought for sure Grant would nab this one.

>you'll have to wait till tomorrow

I guess I'll have to set my alarm ;-)

> You know, I thought for sure Grant would nab this one.

Sorry, t'was busy doing something I guess. Dang.

Yves

qu'est-ce que tu deviens?

sample. sample

Isn't it supposed to be the representation of Triplex smoothed out when the PostScript information isn't available? It comes from around the time that Emigre was interested in the aesthetics of imperfect font representations, like PostScript fonts made to look like bitmaps, no?

Looks Shire Type-ish, but I couldn't find one of the fonts that matched it... an alternate E from one of them, perhaps?

The pound sterling from Font Bureau Asphalt Black?

Holy crap! I sussed it without even blinking that time. Whee!

an uncial "m"?

I wanted so badly for that to be Red Rooster's Forum Titling.
And while I mention it, amperstantastic!

Nicolai, that is a sweet glyph guess!
I assumed it was a B,P,R

Randy

Sorry Nicolai, it's not an uncial 'm'. However, one of Randy's guesses is correct.

Leamington - R?

Not Leamington, but it is an 'R'.

My first guess was Fontesque, but, alas, no.

Is it a "comic" typeface in that vein by chance?

Not 'comic' so much as lighthearted - in a slightly Celtic manner, perhaps.

Darkwing Duck is a Celt?

yec'hed mat!

Not too swooshy, actually.

Hint: Contemporary American designer, the face named after a member of his immediate family.

More hints, please? ;-)
I've checked FontDiner, Chank, P22, Scriptorium and House... no luck.

How about another character before I give out another hint?



Ok, another hint anyway... the designer is probably better known for script faces.

'J' from John Andrew by Jason Walcott

And Justin nails it. Nice job. By the way, John Andrew is the name of Jason�s father.

Take it away, kind sir.
