Hi,

Can anyone help me identify this face?

Thanks,
Richard

Don’t know font. But. Great band.

It's not Frankfurter, but it's close.

That was a great band! But I don't know the font either.

[double post] what does that do to my typophile stats?

(thought i had it, but a check of the design date was all wrong...)

If you're just looking for something similar, you might try Chennai.

i know. and it's a drag, cause i enjoy the occassional cigar.

the font is close enough to have inspired Chennai, though. maybe.

Similar also to an old Gem font called Copyright Violation.

Any luck in finding this font 4 years later?


That cover was a pastiche of the 1960s Ladybird books and appears to use the same typeface. Has that Ladybird font ever been ID'd here?

Justin,

Nice observation, although the 'e' is different.
