also, this one might be hard as my scanner is broken, the font used in the photo bit (at the back in red) of 'Beauty and the book'?

thanks alot

The barbican one is Futura.

"barbican artgallery" is Futura.

- Lex

>barbican
Futura bold or extrabold oblique

//Edit: hehe, good ole Futura …

excellent, thanks so much, haha, yeah i though it would be something obvious!

Ultinoid seems to be a grungier version of the first sample. I'm guessing it was originally a Letraset font from back in the day.

- Lex

The first sample uses a version of San Serif Shaded (Wm. Thorowgood, 1839). Dieter Steffmann offers his version and Opti reportedly had a version.

thanks so much Mike F and everyone else who helped!
