Hi there,

Firstly, as I’m new to this forum, greetings to you all from Estonia!

I’m desperately trying to identify a couple of fonts here.. which brings me to you :P

this one:

and this one:
http://www.householdtextiles.com/cmpts/general/newcat_title.gif

Any guesses would be much appreciated.

Also, I’d be really thankful if anybody could suggest a lookalike for Palace Script by Monotype.

Cheers!

Try Legacy Serif and Myriad (it doesn’t look like the condensed version more like manually squooshed). And why don’t you just take Palace Script?

unknown

Thanks, Legacy Serif will do..
I too suspected the second one to be Myriad Condensed / squashed.. just wanted to be sure :)
Palace Script is unfortunately out-of-budget (sorry, forgot to mention I’m looking for a free lookalike) as it’s a personal project.

Thanks again for the quick response!

Actually, the second one is not Myriad but SG Today Sans Serif SB Light.. Once again - out of budget :(

unknown

This SG Today Sans Serif SB Light? Nope. It isn’t. The only thing which both faces have in common is that they are sanbs serif.

unknown

Isn’t it a light condensed Frutiger?

unknown

This is Centaur or something really close and Frutiger Condensed indeed.
