It seems that Trooper was designed by Dave Trooper for Visual Graphics Corporation (VGC).


Spanish Letraset Catalog, 1980.

Also, Quick brown Fox has this face in multiple weights as 'Toledo' in their 'SERIALS Typecollection'. I'm not sure about the quality, or whether the fonts contain the alternate 'O', 'o', 'g', and 'y'.

Dodgy, yes, but they're the only digital source I know of for lighter weights of Trooper Roman, as well as a few other oddball faces -- they have versions of Tabasco and Blippo Bold, for instance.

Has anyone ordered anything recently from Quick Brown Fox? Their site looks ancient, and Safari seems to think the security certificate of their credit card processing service has expired.

Thank you! Troover Roman is the exact match.
There is also a font called Trooper Roman available from CastleType, http://www.castletype.com/browse_classic.html - but it is not the condensed version which trades under the name Troover by ParaType.
Very interesting indeed. I had a hunch that this font might be designed by Tom Carnase, who designed Tom's Roman. I have not found any information anywhere as to who designed it originally. Any clues?

Thanks for the information, - most interesting. -
This foundry, www.qbf.de, seems very dodgy. Full of cheap knock-off fonts, with ugly obliqued versions. Looks on the wrong side of the legal/illegal borderline to me?

That typeface is Trooper Roman.
There is a digitized version from Paratype called Troover Roman. Watch out, the "y" and "g" of your sample are alternates characters, and Troover looks that has them (228, 243).
There is another Bitstream's font called Tom's Roman "sharing the style of Trooper" but to me doesn't look as close as Troover.
