Looks like Big Figgins by Matthew Carter aka Elephant. Don’t ask me where to get it. I dunno.

Elephant

Normande is very close too, but not quite. It does have an italic.

The only digital Elephany I'm aware of is the Carter & Cone/Microsoft copyrighted version that MS bundled with a group of products years ago.

OK. So Elephant (later renamed Big Figgins) came bundled with some Microsoft products until about 2003. Seems to have vanished since then.

It’s on IndieFontsOne.

by Matthew Carter aka Elephant.

For a second there I thought you were saying Matthew Carter had a pet name in the typographic community....

... Matthew Carter aka Elephant

:-D

Uh ... sorry, Mr. Carter. Wasn’t on purpose.

Haha! He’s certainly a heavyweight in the world of type design. Or should I say an éminence gris?

I love Big Figgins. It’s a pleasure to use and its kerned very well.

Thanks for your help. It is indeed a great font and I'm amazed, that it's not possible to buy it anywhere.

I guess I can always buy an old copy of Office 97 and get if from there.

Actually, you have to purchase it by calling Cherie Cone at Carter & Cone:

This is how I got Big Figgins.

Hope you like using it.

Big Figgins is now sold by Ascender Fonts.
