Hello Typographers

I am look for the name of the attached font as used in the WIRED Magazine Sampler for the UK (please see link below).

Oh, we had this one recently. I found an old film type in one of the Dan X. Solo books from Dover, and I think Mark Simonson knew of a digital version, but I cannot think of the name of either offhand. Arrgh!

Here is the link to the thread. It was identified by Mark as Zelek.

See – here.

[EDIT] Oops. Mike found it himself.

In reading the link to the article about the WIRED issue, they say a font called Zorro was created using Zelek as the model. I'm assuming Zorro is not for commercial distribution, but I'm not sure about this.

Thank you for all your feedback Mike, really helpful.

I emailed WIRED and got the following feedback and also found this link http://www.spd.org/2009/03/new-work-wired-uk.php

Hello,

It's called Zorro.
It's been drawn for us from a late 70's letraset font.

Cheers,

Zelek Black from Mecamorma Catalog 11

Yes, that must be the same catalog Mark was looking at. Thanks for posting the image.
