Hi. I’ve been trying to find this typeface forever — already tried Identifont and WhatTheFont with no joy… Anyone have any ideas?

I think it’s no font but just flipped C’s and a flipped three...

Hi Pieter. Thanks for the quick reply.

The flipped letter idea never even crossed my mind, but now you’ve pointed it out, it seems obvious! I’ve added an image of the ’darker’ text, which supports your idea further.

Any idea what the font might be, prior to ‘flipping operations’?

I think they used Palatino for the trick.

Well — that’ certainly close enough for me… Thanks!
