The high-waisted R and low-waister A remind me of Venus, but the showing of the extra bold extended weight in one of my older type sample books omits the R and S, so I can't compare them to this sample.

Akzidenz Grotesk Bold Extended will get you close, although it's not as heavy as your sample.

cheers! thanks Marc

Nicely played, Mr. Peters!

Check out this JPEG of a project I did ages ago:



As far as I can remember that font was not called Bigford.. And I think it looks too clean compared to the somewhat rough looking sample(s) anyway.. I'll try to find the PSD tomorrow.

I was able to get the Ludlow's Annonce Grotesque around march of the last year, and no longer available Yves

Franz, maybe you used Reservoir, a very "rough" version of Annonce.

Yes, that's the one! And it's a freebie like I seemed to remember. I believe the original sample is set in Reservoir as well.

[my first double post, whee]

Thanks! and it's for free - u da greatest!
