Does anybody know what face it is? Its "Celtic" looking but the E's look incorrectly weighted for the rest of the letters.

Heather did you ask the Aquarium directly? Your sample is really small

unknown

Looks to me like Friz Quadrata with modified A and E's.

unknown

Yeah, I thought about that but I didn't think the aquarium would be able to get back to me quickly enough. I'm a student and I need this for a class tomorrow. I figured somebody might know and be able to give me a quick answer. I enlarged the sample�bigger

Ooh! I think that's it! Thanks Mark!
I'm gonna go do some illustrator alteration now. Does anyone know of any fonts that have an E like that?

unknown

Yeah, I would say that's definitely what it is. I'll admit I cheated a bit: I went to their website and found some other samples. Hey, did you know this was the location used for the aquarium in Star Trek IV?

unknown

Looks like you can make the A by stealing the left arm of a T. The E's Could be made by starting from a C (like this) and using the right arm of a T (lengthened, of course). It sort of looks like their E's are too light, like maybe the did come from another face. I think the C's from Friz would probably work fine, though.

No I didn't, although I will admit that that was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. I liked that they saved the whales. They also have an incredible display of jellyfish in blacklight tanks. Sparkly!

How about Bo Berndal's Benedikt? (I just like the sound of that name)

unknown

I love the Benedictine and Benedikt is almost it, but I think I'll use Mark's idea of altering the C, T and A. I think the weight will work better than the original, thanks.

Hooray! Typophile is back. Now I won't get anything done again.

Heather, if you're still here: A tip about using this forum. Sometimes (a lot of times, actually) it will seem like your post is not going through. Most of the time it actually does, but there is a bug in the code that prevents the original page from loading correctly. If it seems like this is happening, stop the browser, copy the text of your post (just in case) and go back to the original page. Usually, your new post will be there. If not, you've got it on the clipboard and can try again. If you keep trying to post by hitting the "post this message" button, you will instead post multiple copies of your post.

It's a stupid and annoying problem and hopefully at some point it will be fixed. But in the mean time, just consider it part of the way Typophile works. (Judging from the outage of Typophile in the last two days, not the only bug.)

unknown

Oh, one other trick that works: While you're waiting for your post to go through, open a the original topic page in a separate browser window to see if your post has actually gone through. If it hasn't, go back to the other window and try again.

unknown

There's the other typophile bug too - the one that double posts you anyway if you don't close the browser window that contains your post. Happens to me periodically.
