chess type face?!

rosmedia

chess sans?

: )

As you can see - it’s cut out of wood.

Or am I silly for replying? If it’s a joke - ha ha.

well.. axually it was not meant as a joke. I loved the photo so I wanted to post it somewhere at Typophile for you guys.

however..
we could make this a legal thread by asking what the font is for:
type chess set

It’s Bernhard Bold Condensed.

The “type chess set” is Bernhard.

I hadn’t really noticed before, but Bernhard’s “t” looks like a baby bottle. Funny.

As you can see - it’s cut out of wood.

That would made it a wooden type.

Type chess set is not a sans - that’s why I thought you meant the wood.

Nick
I meant the wood.. but as I posted before.. I just wanted to show this fine work of using type.

Thanx Jan + Aaron for Bernhard
