Thanks in advanced. :D
 
Any Idea What This Font Is?

I found this as a picture somewhere and wanted to use it in my website.

I'm not sure what font it is. Any ideas.

this is not an actual typeface.. look how every 'a' is different.. this is either hand written or individual characters have been altered.
 
Anyone know this 'un?

I have this font embedded in a PDF. Is there a way to find out what it is using Acrobat? If someone knows what it is please let me know. :D
 
Cmd-D to open document properties, then click the 'fonts' tab.

From that list, work the font out by process of eliminationl, and searching the font names.

Actually it looks like there are only two "a" characters. The first two on the first line then "swap" on the second line. I've had fonts like that where the "caps" version is just another version of the lowercase letter. That's probably what's going on there.

Um, no idea what font it is, though. But I'm convinced it IS a font. :)

hmm.. well there appears to be a true cap for the 'C' and the 'M'.. would the true cap 'A' just be an alternate for the lowercase? who knows! someone call up starbucks :)

Does anyone know the font of both the headline (company name) and the light grey copy?

Thanks!

Quite small to tell, but the headline looks like Eurostile Light, the body copy Helvetica Extended, and the little sub-heading thing Futura.
 
I need to make a ticket that looks "old". I like this font(s), but I'm not sure which one(s) it is. It almost looks like Futura, but thats not it...any ideas?
 
Hi, Gene.

On my system ATCOakBold seems a good match. It came with my Quark 6 textbook. We had a lot of trouble with font substitutions on the HP laser with it, though.

Ariel Black looks close, and is old enough to be the right one.

This brings back a lot of memories of the Summer of Love. I was 21, and almost went to that thing...

Neither of those have the requisite point on the capital A. I'm a bit confused, actually, because I would swear that is Futura, which does have the pointy A, but not at the weight that's used here. Up to about Medium/Medium Bold, Futura has exactly that capital A, but as soon as you move to Heavy (which this sample looks like), the capital A develops a flat top.

Most perplexing ...

Edit to add: In fact, if you type the word SUNDAY in Futura Medium, the letter forms are an exact match, right down to the points on the uprights left top and right bottom of the N standing clear of the main character height, plus, of course, that all-important pointy A.

However, as I mentioned, as soon as you change the weight to Heavy, the N and the A both develop flat tops.

Similarly odd is the fact that WOODSTOCK MUSIC and ART FAIR is pretty much an exact match for Futura BT BoldCondensed, except for the 'and' which has the wrong kind of 'a'.

Since this dates from 1969, I'm assuming that it was either set in moveable type, or possibly lettered by hand from book of type samples. I'm wondering whether this is either a Futura variant I haven't seen (entirely possible -- there are a lot of them), or whether a hand-letterer used a lighter version of the face as the basis for the letters and then manually made the characters bolder whilst preserving the shapes.

Cheers

Anyone seem to know what font this is in the attached graphic? I've tried WhatTheFont and browsing my fonts, but I can't seem to figure out the name.
 
And is there a way to get a 'cheat sheet' of all your installed fonts?

Kind of. In Font Book you can select Print and click the arrow to enlarge the options. Check "Waterfall" and save as a PDF. You have to do this separately for each font family, though. You could assemble them into a single PDF later.

Dale Not much help, eh?

Dale help much lol.

You can in fact Select All in the all collections and press print. Preview gave me a good 560 pages which I proceeded to save as PDF, then Font Book crashed on me. Each time I open Font Book now, the it won't print multiple fonts anymore, the print option in the menu just disables. Odd.
