I spotted this font somewhere on the web. I am certain it wasn't custom but a font. The letters were divided horizontally, the top half was a sans face while the bottom half was blackletter. It sounds terrible, I know, but it kinda worked. Anyway, if anyone knows what I am talking about....
THANKS
Sounds like the font in this book cover that Hrant posted to Flickr recently…

That font isn't available anymore (see here), but maybe somebody else knows of something similar?

Sounds like Royal Family designed by Patrick Giasson, distributed through Thirst.
I don't believe it is commercially available anymore though :(
Maybe it wasn't a Sans but Clarendon: Fraktendon was featured in the T26 October newsletter.
