(x) Blackletter in "Inquirer News" logo - custom designed {Reed Reibstein}

iskippy227

Need some help identifying the blackletter face in this logo. Tried going through MyFonts, looking through their blackletter category, but they all started to blur together near the end of the day. Please help!

Almost certainly custom, so no font will match exactly. It’s a typical newspaper nameplate textura (I’ve been looking at a ton lately for a project). You could try LTC Goudy Text or Wedding Text to come close, but the only way to have an exact replica is to do it yourself (or get the actual EPS from someone at the Inquirer).

I had a sneaking suspicion it was something custom. Looks like time to fire up Illustrator.

Thanks for the help!
