Identify this font

[Over Achiever]

I designed my own logo a few years back, and I have no idea what font I used for it. The g I think is distinctive if that helps.

Any chance of an image that's big enough to actually see?

Cheers!

Not quite...

Any help appreciated.

Unfortunately that's the only surviving copy of my logo (hosted by my smugmug) ... I wish it could be bigger (then I could use what's that font . com). I could rasterize it and enlarge it in Illustrator I suppose.

Bum! Oh, well, I'll have a squint and see if I can work it out ...

I'm just curious, how do you go about figuring out what font it is? It's such a nice skill to have! I envy you guys =)

Honestly? It's fifteen years of designing stuff, and seeing stuff that other people have designed, plus (and this is the important bit) being really, really geeky about knowing which font has been used in jobs that you see by other designers.

I'm pretty sure I don't have that particular font installed on my system, but I do know which of my installed fonts are cursive or handwriting fonts, so simply launching FontBook, changing the sample text to 'Custom' and then cycling through all the possibly relevant fonts normally does the trick.

Cheers!

Here's a scan of something that was printed in 1918....that squashed "g" doesn't match anything in my collection and neither does the italics at the top

any ideas?

I'm pretty sure that's Times, and the variations from what you'll see on your computer screen are artefacts of the printing process at the time, rather than intentional font design.

Cheers!

Thanks for the input. Times was my first thought too.....and prob what I'll use.....but when I typed out a few lines I noticed some differences, especially with the italics so I wondered if it was something else

Anyone able to identify this font used on the plaque?

Is similar to Din, but there are differences. I've gone through Identifont, but couldn't quite match it up.

Cheers in advance!
