Abalone Construction

iskippy227

Hello again. Need some more help with identifying some fonts (both the Abalone and Construction, please and thanks).

Any assistance is very much appreciated!

‘ABALONE’ seems to beBeton (Bold Condensed).

Awesome! One down, one to go.

Thanks!

Hey Skippy,
I have no idea about the 2nd one … looks a little bit self-made: is the ‘n’ an upside down ‘u’?

Btw., Beton is one hell of an inconsistent family!
Type IDer: “Tell me, does the ‘A’ have a left-pointing top serif?”
Light: “Yes.”
Regular: “No.”
Demi/Medium: “Sure.”
Bold: “Nope.”
Bold-Condensed: “Well, yes!”
Extra Bold (by URW/E+F): “No way!”
Extra Bold (by Creative Alliance): “Yes, and now shut up.”

Regarding “Construction”... It’s not exactly right, but pretty close; Lunda Modern

also close but not a match: Allegro

Florian - interesting about the differences in Beton. Guess the only thing consistent in life is inconsistency.

Stefan - Lunda Modern is indeed very close. Thing is, this is going to be shrunk down to the point where only the most discerning eye would be able to tell it’s not quite right.
