True, that is a bit weird. Barmeno: one of those faces that seems like a good idea, but the more you look at it the uglier and more dated it gets. Have used it as display type on book covers before a few years back, but in retrospect, perhaps it wasn't the best idea.
Got a tip for us?

The weird thing about Barmeno is that it manages, as you say, to look horrible and dated, but without actually being dated to a specific period, so you can't even use it in a knowing, retro kind of way!

Hey, can anyone identify this font from the poster from "Somewhere"?
Many thanks!

Somewhere font = Van Condensed
Hi, I found several sources that say it's Van Condensed and after looking at the font that seems right to me. Look at the terminal on the lowercase f and the kooky lowercase g.
Here's the font on Myfonts: http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/rsantos/van-condensed/

Also stumped by stencil font
Hi Apple OC,
Just wanted to let you know that I also tried to identify your stencil font but haven't come up with anything either. I assume you ran it through Identifont already - there are lots of stencil fonts there but none that look quite like this one. The closest I got was AG Book Stencil, but that looks pretty much like Helvetica with a stencil effect:
http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/berthold/ag-book-stencil-bq/
Your font is more condensed and has those odd straight sides.
Can you tell us more about the font? Where did you find it and do you have any more text besides "HOWARD"? Any chance somebody just took a regular sans serif and modified to give it a stencil look? What do you need the font for? Are you trying to match it or do you just need something close?
Cheers
Leslie

Thanks for your input Leslie ... it is from The Howard Stern Show.
A friend who is a big fan wants me to create something for his MBP.
cheers also for your help.
Been trying on a few sites to identify this font, the closest I've gotten is from identifont with Neutra Face.
It's from this book; you can look at some pages on Amazon or see the attachment:

Thanks in advance

Neutra Face looks right to me
Hi Sammich,
I think you already got it with Neutra Face - wondering why you don't think that's it.
Take a look on the foundry's website at the "Display Light" version - it looks just like the type in the book to me:
http://www.houseind.com/fonts/neutraface
What particularly convinces me is that most of the capitals that have a middle stroke (like A, H and R) have it pretty low, but the B's middle stroke is much higher. The same is true of the type in your book. Unfortunately the Amazon previews are too low-res to really look at the lower case and I have to go with the all-caps titles.
Cheers,
Leslie

Hah, thanks! Yeah I didn't actually get the right variant...actually, I don't know why I thought it was different.
Well there you go, I'm blind to detail :| Thanks at least I can rest easy now knowing.

You may need to repost your question - all I can see is a question mark in a blue box - no font is visible
you really think it is Microsoft comic sans, the font post above is forms on a piece of equipment made in the 1950's.
It's H&F-J Gotham Light, you can find it here but with that said it's not a cheap or free font.
This I have found Eau and M+1 Outline to be decent substitutes.

they are all very similar, except the font in the picture has rounded points on the end of the lines.
you are correct about H&F-J they want $300.
I think you'll find that the rounded appearance is most likely a product of being stamped into the metal, or from wear and tear on that same metal.
OTOH, the centre bar of the E looks much shorter in your sample than in Gotham. If you can live with the E being slightly different, I've found what appears to be a free version of Gotham Light that actually is rounded here.
Cheers!
