Not Barnbrook or Tankard (hint: wrong gender)

Is it a Cyrillic face?

Yep, Shiraz is the one. Go Peter.

hehehe

oki here's tonights quiz:



Name the typeface.

Good luck!

well you never know with you guys (i mean after seeing excellent Justin Callaghan's Happy New Year quiz)

i bet Bruhn has done something similar tricky here... so i am guessing this is the number 2 but backwards

how about that?! : )

{edit} doubleposted..

It could well be a ct ligature, but it doesn't look like Baskerville 1757 to me: the top isn't monolinear enough, and the ball terminal is too heavy. [Next time I see Lars I must ask him if he was inspired in his naming by our Garamond 1530.]

Yves: yes it's an italic ligature, but not a "ct"
No it's nothing by Lars (or from any other font in the Fountain c library)

here's a little more:

How about the "ch" ligature from DTL Fleischmann italic?

Sigh! why can't I ever come up with tricky questions ;)
Congrats! Yes, your are right Addison.
Now, Let's hope you can come up with something more difficult than my quiz :-D

Cool! Fleischmann is one of my favorites -- the guys at DTL have created some exquisite work.

This one may be a little obscure, but try it out:

% ?

Yep. It's a percent glyph.

Something from Storm?

It is from the Storm Type Foundry -- one of his italics...

Antique Moderne Italic?

Ding, ding, ding! You got it, Adriano. Mr. Storm has a beautiful touch:


[STF Antique Moderne Italic]

Oh, and Mr. Bruhn, just to let you know, I spent an entire morning looking up your glyph. It wasn't easy at all.

Your turn, Adriano.

Alright, I've got to jet right now, but I'll be back in a few hours.

I don't think that was originally designed as a percent sign: it looks like a 'care of' sign, such as one uses in sending a letter c/o a third person.

You probably know this, Mr. Hudson, but here's a brief origin of the percent sign. (not sure how credible that info is)

I guess Mr. Storm used a little creative license. Perhaps the "c" is for "centum."

No, I think you're right. In the roman font there's a standard percent symbol, but I guess he intended for the italic to be used as "care of." How about that...

Here we go, then.

OK, I'm guessin' this time around . . .

I say Helvetica Ultra Light Ampersand . . .

:D

Helvetica, no.
Ampersand, yes.

DeGroot?

Negative on that.

is it a script?

Not a script.
I'm going to bed now... I'll post either another detail or a hint tomorrow.
Good night typophiles

Jeremy Tankard's Aspect Light?

No, it isn't Aspect either.

Here's another detail of the same glyph.

Apex

Correct! It's the Apex ampersand (both sans and serif are identical).




Take it, BJ!

thanks Adriano.

i'll post one in the morning.

"[STF Antique Moderne Italic] "

And I who thought i went thorughly through the Storm Catalogu on that percentage quiz :-D

BTW, his Jannon Antiqua also has an amazing percent sign.

At MyFonts.com: Jannon Antiqua Italic percent

You're right, that's pretty amazing. Concerning the "care of" sign that Mr. Hudson mentioned above, I'd like to know if that's what Storm intended.

I came across the percent sign while looking at Moderne Antique Italic in TypeTool. I haven't seen it anywhere else.

Name 4 of the 8 glyphs

Is the fourth one Swedish?

United States

No. 6 is from a Swedish designer

#3 - Tractor
#5 - Forkbeard
#7 - Delphin
#8 - Madrone

FWIW:
2. Hrant's Daam Entity
6. Filt

Adriano, you got it!

#1 Hamburger Heaven, Nick Curtis
#2 Brutaal, hhp
#3 Tractor, Martin Wait
#4 Curbdog Italic, TPC
#5 Forkbeard, Michael Gills
#6, Filt, Martin Fredrickson
#7, Delphin I, Georg Trump
#8, Madrone, Barbara Lind

Here we go again!

$ ?

Adriano, maybe a clue before you retire for the evening?
Could it be Blackletter? Your crop is supertight.

It is a dollar sign, it is not a blackletter.

Still a few more hours until I go to bed. I will post a hint or another detail of the glyph before I go.

I'm off to bed now, here's another image (same glyph).
