It looks like Gerard Unger’s Coranto. It could also be his Gulliver font.

Similar genre of letterforms, but the serifs don’t match either of those. I feel like I’ve seen this on a newspaper somewhere, but I’m not sure. Where is the sample from?

Which Portuguese newspaper?

I think “Público” is the name, but that sample came from a music supplement, I belive the typeface is the same...

Is it possible to have been custom made?

Yes, I got it from a portuguese newspaper that changed recently is layout design. I don´t know who did´it, but the typeface got my attention...

By the way, there´s nothing to do with California, ...it was just the first english word i´ve found.

OK, so I’ve found that it is indeed Público, a quality Portugese daily, which launched its redesign on february 12th. Mark Porter, Art Director of The Guardian, was in charge of the redesign, following the model of the British paper. My guess is that it’s a custom designed font, either by Christian Schwartz who did the The Guardian faces which were also inspired by Gerard Unger’s work, or by Gerard himself.

Some additional information.

And here it is on the home page of Christian Schwartz’s website. That’s why it looked familiar — I saw Stockholm during his presentation at ATypI, and Christian showed it to me again when I was writing up a short piece about the The Guardian redesign. Scroll down to halfway my ATypI Lisbon Day Three Afternoon report.

Ok, I see,
Thanks for your reply, and all the links provided. I just wanted to know who´s the artist behind such beautifull typeface, truely inspiring!! Also take a look at the full set maybe...

Best Regards

Kiko, thanks for the nice things you said about our typeface for Publico.

There are a couple of things I want to clarify here:

My guess is that it’s a custom designed font, either by Christian Schwartz who did the The Guardian faces which were also inspired by Gerard Unger’s work, or by Gerard himself.

Paul Barnes and I designed all of the Guardian faces together (Publico, too), and I don’t deserve sole credit.

I wouldn’t say we were ’inspired by Gerard Unger’s work’. These days, that term is usually interpreted as referring to a revival, i.e. the way Fenway was ’inspired’ by Fleischman’s work. We were certainly influenced by contemporary Dutch type design, and Gerard’s work is an important part of that, but we were also influenced by 19th century English Egyptians, Mark’s love of Renaissance italics, and the headline face the great Willi Fleckhaus used in Twen. Did you doze off during our lecture, Yves?

Whoops, “inspired by” was indeed very unfortunate wording and not correct at all. What I meant to say is that one could see the similarities between Gerard Unger’s style and Publico, which are both rooted in the contemporary Dutch type design indeed. And I apologise for forgetting to mention Paul’s name (second time I irked Paul — this will look not good on my resume). :^/

Hardly, as you must’ve figured out from my review, but it is nine months ago, innit? ;^)
