@domesticetch Fully agreed! @JonathanHoefler Not Welo, but Carlyle & Oring: flickr.com/photos/studiot… @ZAlexSnyder It wasn’t a font at first, just a piece of lettering. Someone turned it into a photo typeface in or before 1969. We just added two more in-use examples: fontsinuse.com/typefaces/1721…

Found this amazing specimen via @FontsInUse and I think someone should really do a revival of one of these in order to strike while the megazoid/gikit iron is hot

@EvaSilvertant It’s lettering. See this discussion: @paulinenunez@mastodon.social/109626847652383644" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mstdn.party/@paulinenunez@…

Does anyone have any idea what typeface this might be? It might be from the ’50s to ’70s, although those ‘g’s remind me of lettering from around 1900 as well. @FontsInUse Do you recognize it by any chance?

On Dec 13 we posted the tweet shown in this screenshot. Tonight, that tweet is hidden, replaced with an ad, as part of Musk’s hamfisted/fascistic ban on all Mastodon links. So, we can’t link you to our social network of choice, but you can get there from fontsinuse.com.

@olofch @hardwig Hi Thomas, it appears to be related to Brasilia fontsinuse.com/typefaces/3282… Not PL/MT’s digitization, though. AFAICT, neither Bolivia nor Neue Brasilia shop.deinwaller.com/fonts/bolivia #NeueBrasilia" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">benoitbrun.com/#NeueBrasilia For future font ID requests, please consider asking at fontid.co

Who can help me identify this font with that characteristic t? Asking for a student ;-) @hardwig @FontsInUse

@EbyanEgal @FontSquirrel It’s Manege: fontsinuse.com/typefaces/4658… For future font ID requests, please consider asking at fontid.co

@FontsInUse @FontSquirrel

Tuesday font help - can anyone identify the font/foundry for the below text? Needed for a book cover. As a thank you I'll send out five books from my bookshelf to the first person that that can identify the font!!

@w__h_ Nothing planned from the staff’s side, but we’re open to submissions!

Will @FontsInUse do a feature on Pentiment …

@EvaSilvertant Thanks a bunch, Eva! That’s very kind. I really wanted to show that lc ‘g’, so I caved and compiled a mixed-case sample: fontsinuse.com/typefaces/4549…

@FontsInUse It’s all-caps, but here is a sample of Klinger-Antiqua in case you want to use it.

Klinger-Antiqua (1919) by Julius Klinger. A beautiful art nouveau typeface with rather unusual serifs. The concave apex of ‘t’ lends itself beautifully to the ſt ligature. And some lovely ch/ck/tʒ ligatures! From ‘Klinger-Antiqua: Ornamente und Schmuck’ (H. Berthold AG., 1925).

@FiveLineDesign Sorry, no. Please try fontid.co

@FontsInUse can you help me identify this typeface please? Thank you

@EvaSilvertant Thanks, added.

Hey @FontsInUse, I have a minor addition to the Phanitalian (1879) entry. It says Phanitalian is shown as Bohemia by Solotype (Dover Publications, 1992). I also found it shown as Bohemia in ‘Victorian Display Alphabets: 100 Complete Fonts’ (Dover Publications, 1976)—on page 13.

I have two moods

@jmsoleb Yes, it’s indeed the AT Vol. 2 from 1965. Similar samples are also shown in the One Line Manual of Styles from 1971, just smaller and w/o the stretched and obliqued variations.

@FontsInUse @raind00gg @stewf @espiekermann Can I ask what the book is, please? I vaguely remember seeing something very similar at St Bride and I am wondering if this is one of the same set. The one I saw was Alphabet Thesaurus Vol. 2.

@EvaSilvertant Stylistic alternates, the DIY (and anti-SEO) way: those glyphs are the Cyrillic pe (п) and the Greek upsilon (υ)! For fonts that offer angular (and other) alts via OT features, see Programme, Euclid Flex, Cy: fontsinuse.com/typefaces/3853… fontsinuse.com/typefaces/3143… fontsinuse.com/typefaces/8592…

A fascinating article about a discovery of a giant star with spiral arms close to the galactic nucleus of the Milky Way! But I really don’t enjoy this typeface, with its spurless curvy ‘u’ and a rectangular ‘n’... ds.xem.plus/scientists-dis…
