(x) Need ID: Kate Carlisle's Bibliophile Mysteries - Bernhard Modern, Bernhard Tango, Troubadour {Florian}

Jenel

I work for author Kate Carlisle, and I'd like to identify the font that her publisher used on her book covers. In particular, I want to know the fonts used in the "A Bibliophile Mystery" tag and the title. Any ideas?

Hi Jenel,
the title are Bernhard Modern, with the initials from Bernhard Tango.

Thank you! You definitely nailed the fonts used in the title. That O is so interesting! Do you happen to know what font is used in the tag "A Bibliophile Mystery"? It looks different to me.

The script appears to be Troubadour. The open version of that old German metal font has been digitized as Rechtman. You can find some information and more known aliases in this older thread. I am not aware of a digital version that looks like your sample, i.e. a regular, non-open one. Maybe it has been customized.

Thank you so much! This forum is such a fabulous resource. I appreciate your help.

You are welcome.
