hi, everyone.


can anyone help me id this unknown serif? tia. i tried whatthefont!, but to no avail.

regards,

JZ

Interesting typeface. The closest I was able to find was Ela Demiserif Light. It's not an exact match but a lot of the feeling is the same.

Another font with some of this elegance is Kigara. Still not a match.

Reminds me of [[http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/imperial/|URW Imperial] with added serifs.

Andreas

[[http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/t26/tema-cantante/|Tema Cantate]] is another close approximation of this one.

Still a mystery.

- Mike Yanega

Given the similarities with Imperial and all the awkwardness (IMHO) of those half-serifs I still believe someone down in China meddled with Imperial.

Andreas

Thanks for your kind replies. Mike & Andreas. Looks like it was inspired by Rotis Semi serif.
@Andreas,
The unknown serif is quite different from Imperial. I'd like to think it's a not-so-good hybrid of Imperial and Ela Demi Serif.

Actually this is a free font called Philosopher.

@Tamas,
You're awesome. Thanks a lot.

@Tamasz:

As I said, someone messed around with Imperial ;-)

Andreas

Tamas, good work. That's not giving up on the hunt.
