Misa, please post that image again.

Sorry guys, it was CMYK.

Cresci, from the Baroque Set (Agfa)

using the lowercase/smallcaps. woof, photoshop can really hurt some beautiful letters. -- no pun intended.

Thanks a lot, Tiffany!

At least I am going to recreate their logo with only types, not the effect.

That's close, but I don't think that's it -- there are too many little differences. But I haven't been able to find a better match, especially with such a perfectly round O like that. Misa, where did this sample come from?

me very weak on text fonts IDs, but...
The P seems to say, Zapf...maybe a different
Palatino...although the splay on the M doesn't
quite cut it.

Well. Sheesh! I've just struck out twice then. I should've just left it alone. Haha!

The other is a near-dead ringer for Matrix!


I don't know if this one can be nailed down
because of the photoshopping.

Palatino's seems to have a different MO.

M and O.

Those weren't strikeouts, Tiff, they were solid triples each, probably with runs batted in.

Hi Cheshire,

I don't know where they are located, but it is an Italian restaurant. I think it is in somewhere in or around Texas. Somebody must have made this on a PC, not on a Mac, because I got this on a PC disc (this is just my guess).

I know it sound odd that I don't know who they are... I work for a packaging company and I get so many requests to recreate logos from all over the U.S. That is why I sometimes need help here to identify fonts that I cannot tell.

Before I knew about Typophile, it was much harder because forum at myfonts is o.k. Somebody there wrote about Typophile, so I came here... This is the best site ever for me, and I appreciate you guys sooooo much.

It seems like that "Italian Grill" should provide some clues, as I'm guessing it's all one typeface. Those low, sharp serifs on the italic, the wide crossbar and short top on the t -- it must be a font we can find, but I've looked up and down MyFonts and haven't been able to nail it down. Not one of the million Garamonds, not a Palatino. Arrgh!

Which image? :/ Or is it so bad it got censored by Joe'n'Jared? =D

Ooooh, looks like I'm gonna have to race the 'cat. ;)

> It seems like that "Italian Grill" should provide

"Italian Grill" looks like it's set in Font Bureau's
Californian (Text?) Italic, so you can rule out
that theory.

BTW I believe it's Felix Titling you're after. I was
quite confident one could find the identity of
"POMPEII" burried somewhere in this thread. It has
become a brilliant resource for these period titling
serif faces. ;)
