And here's the other one:



And again thank you for your help on this one as well.

I don't know what it is, but it looks like it was inspired by the lettering of Ben Shahn.

Yeah, Mark, you are on a roll. Harold Lohner has a couple of Ben Shahn -inspired fonts on his site called Bens Folk and Bens Folk condensed. They are not identical to this, but you have to compare letters to be sure. The feeling is still the same, but without all the bounce. (You have to select "Famous Artists" from the navigation frame to see them, as I can't get a specific link to the fonts).

It also has the feel of a face designed by Astigmatic

Good suggestion Dan. Their "Gargamel" is similar, and I guess we can assume the baseline bounce is in the typesetting, not the font design.

Yes, I would agree with Mr. Mike Yanega, the baseline bounce must not result from the font design, taking the fact that same letters don't come in the same position, (same situation with the sample above), so I suppose the positioning of each letter is indeed random, and not resulting from the font design in itself.

Also, in my tries to identify this one, I too have come to an other AOE's font: Lord Rat ( http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/astigmatic/lord-rat-aoe/ ) Not quite it, either, though...

P.S. Sorry for writing the full URL to the page I'm wishing to refer to, instead of directly linking it to the text, as I see everyone here doing, but, I don't actually know how that is supposed to be done?... :-P

SM go here,
the link is in the top of this page (Help).

@ Ignacio Martinez & Yves Peters: roger that, thank you! :-)
