I just ran these two glyphs through WhatTheFont, it doesnt recognize the face. Weird.

Alright...
Next one.

Italic lowercase w?

Yes, no and yes.

ITC Galliard?

Uh, yes.

My turn again? Where is everybody?

ITC New Baskerville Italic?

Lowercase w is right. Not Baskerville, sorry.

Next glyph:

Serapion?

Nope, sorry.. Last glyph:



Plain sailing.

Columbus Italic?

Columbus Italic it is, you win!

Bring it on.

Alright... here�s the next one:

Lowercase f?

Pacific Clipper Bold/Extrabold?

No... but the lc "f" was correct!

Here�s another glyph:

The f fragment looks a lot like Triplex, but the second glyph doesn't seem to match. It's all very Emigre.

Keep following your intuition... Emigre is correct...
Now we just need the name of the font!

:-)

Btw, the last character posted was lc "m"

Ottomat Book?

You got it Franz!!!

Yay! But.. Three in a row?! You have to be kidding me, where is everyone..

something from DTL?

Nope. There is a connection though, if you will.

Different glyph:

Last glyph:



Obvious hint: Adobe.
Obscure hint: Duke it out!

Yves got it!

I just realized that you could get the answer by googling for adobe duke type.

Uh, sorry. Before I jumped into the fray I went through the archives and read someone's complaint about things not going fast enough.. So as a poster I did my best not to slow down things too much.

What's the suggested timeframe for one round?

And no, I didn't think you'd need to google, I just found it funny that my hints completely gave away the answer here.

Bring it on!

Don't mind me, I'm just enjoying the show. I think the way you kept things moving things along was just fine, Franz. I haven't been keeping stats on the pop quiz, but I think this may be the first threepeat.

Speaking of keeping things moving along, I believe a certain

w     a  f f      l   e

owes us a new quiz...?

(that was my feeble attempt at replicating poorly spaced Helvetica on the screen)

Yves? Quit being polite and post already.

Please.

Yves, I have a feeling that you'll end up being the one to wake up with the horse's head. [cue Godfather theme] ;)

Make us an offer already, the old man is growing impatient!

franz "consiglieri" hagen

I guess we can call off Luca Brasi now.

Hm, interesting - very thin/very strange m or outlined W/U? Probably the latter?

YR 72? from T26

Looks kind of Porchez-esque...

Eraser? Nah, too straight.

The mystery glyph curves slightly downward at the shoulder, so I think this is outlined/heavy.. Yves, it sure is a tricky one.

Uh-oh, we broke the T26-website.
Edit: They fixed it. Wow, that looked scary.

I forgot all about that. Yeah, you just start bringing those obscure hints, bub.

Lischka's Samba is close, but not a match.

Eduardo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big time grab. It sure is Samba. Check the pdf. The high m is an alternate. Nice.

So it it is an m.. Wow. Good one!

New challenge coming up, tomorrow morning!

Good luck. :-)

lower-case g?
