Anyone want to Identify? heh, thanks.

This resembles Tamil (p.158 in Solotype catalog published by Dover Books). The showing is incomplete, so I can't see enough letters to confirm it.

I cannot find a showing of it online, mainly because Tamil is also a language, with it's own fonts.

However, closer investigation shows Tamil to be a more square typeface than this. It has very similar serifs though.

I'm not familiar with the company, but custom was my next guess.

The Solotype Catalog Tamil differs from the logo image in several ways.
I'd post a scan, but I bet Mike Y is working that up right now.

Thought I'd mention, though, that Dieter Steffmann digitized the Black and
Outline variants of Tamil under the name Tobago Poster (Win TT/T1 only).

The Catalog shows 6 weights of Tamil, Light through Heavy, and I think
Herr Steffmann chose the nicest and most potentially useful of them to
digitize.

You're right Mike, except I had Novel Fonts "Tamago" which is Tamil Black, I think, so I decided not to try to scan the partial samples in the Solotype Catalog. Here is that font.

Obviously not the Konami font, but the serifs caught my eye. You don't win them all ;-)

My Konami connection couldn't find out herself, unfortunately -- I was hoping to pull out an obscure one, but no luck.
