Typophile

(x) Type from Wired magazine - H&FJ Vitesse {Patricia}

Andrew

Lately I've been having some trouble identifying type that some publications are using. The two examples shown here are from Wired magazine. Anyone know what family these two belong to? If so, what type foundry are they from?

This question has been answered. Please try a search.

Really? I just searched for "Wired" and I found a couple of things, but nothing concrete. Is it a custom by HFJ for Wired?

If you search thru Google, instead of Typophile, the links come up - here's one:

Seems it's a custom font (Vitesse) from H&FJ

Funny, I didn't see that link when I tried Google. Maybe I just missed it.

In any case, thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

I apologize for assuming Typophile's search was sufficient. Maybe they ought to disable it and just provide a link to the site-specific Google search.

I never use Typophile's search anymore, I type the item in google, plus "site:typophile.com" and much more stuff comes up.

Ditto here.

I have the following as a bookmark:

javascript:void(q=prompt('Search%20Typophile:',''));if(q)void(location.href='http://www.google.com/search?q=site:typophile.com'+'%20'+escape(q))

A nice little javascripty thing Grant did a while back.

Nice tip - pattyfab,

I was just about to post a new ID request for the font used in "The Shawshank Redemption" movie title, I tried typophile's search but got nothing, tried Google & got instant results of course.

Here is a link:

P.S. the font was also used in "Into the Arms of Strangers" documentary title.

I remember that little javascript shortcut, I used to have it in my bookmark bar back in the old OS 9 days. I wouldn't begin to know how to use it in Safari.

Open your bookmarks, copy a bookmark, copy that snippet, replace the copied bookmark with the snippet, rename bookmark to something like "Typophile Search" ... voila!

Didn't work.

Sorry Patty, I've no idea why it didn't work ... I'm sure my instructions were clear ... as mud. ;^)

Search Typophile

Drag that into your bookmark bar.

I'm retarded. It just isn't working properly. Worked fine on OS 9.

Ahh! I just got it. Thanks, Tiff.

I've mentioned it once before, but I figured I'd advocate it again now that the conversation has resurfaced. I use YubNub, which is a "(social) command line for the web." I've integrated it into my address bar, so when I type "gim porsche," IE searches Google Images for porsches, and when I type "am Bringhurst," Amazon pops up with the matches. I made the command "typophile," which works in the same way, searching Typophile.com through Google. So typing "typophile wired magazine" would do the same thing as what has been mentioned. The advantage of YubNub over the javascript is that there's no need to use a links or favorites bar if you don't use them normally (like I don't). Having it in my address bar has made my life a little bit easier (using commands like "myfonts," "veertype," and "fontshop" to search those sites for fonts).

Reed do you use acidsearch?

Another Safari search extension would be Inquisitor—“it's like Spotlight for the web” …

No, Tiff, I'm a member of the 27% (as of now) who use PCs around these parts. Thanks for pointing it out, though. I wonder if acidsearch would work with Safari on PC ...

Looking at the website, the functionality is similar to YubNub's, although YubNub seems easier to design your own commands for (since it uses a simplified syntax that even I can learn).
