Wow, that’s the “e”

Wow, that’s the “e” I’m looking for and it’s attached to a family that’s not overly ornate. Thanks Florian.

The previous suggestions

The previous suggestions reminded me of Sassoon Sans.

You’re right Mike, I

You’re right Mike, I should just wait till I see another example of it and remember to post for ID. It’s hard to describe a font without an example and based on a single character from memory.

For all I know, it might have been an italic e that I thought was a standard e anyway.

Thanks for all the responses everyone. I do appreciate the attempt.

Kabel might have the look

Kabel might have the look you are thinking about.

This sounds like we could go

This sounds like we could go around in circles on this one, since we don’t really know the look you are after. You can use the Sans Serif Font ID Guide, and search for all the style codes that use the non-horizontal crossbar on the ’e’, starting with Codes 1 and 3 and working your way down the pages.

Maybe that will help you pick something according to the look.

Parisine Plus from PTF has a nice e similar to what you are looking for ... I believe.

Asvetic — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 12:23:58 -0700

Right now, it’s purely for my benefit. I’ve been noticing this style “e” for a while now and every time I see it I want to ask about it, but of course it’s always when I’m away from my computer and when I do get back to the computer, I usually forget to ask with a relevant example in mind. The style looks fresh and new, and I just assumed it could be a new face that’s starting to get popular. Hence the picky nature of getting as many suggestions as possible.

Hopefully I see another example or remember where I’ve seen them in the past and put a decent sample to be ID’ed.

I do appreciate all the responses and I’m sorry this is a wild goose chase.

Ok, it wasn’t clear if you were looking to identify something or for a recommendation.

That’s close but the e has

Asvetic — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 11:58:03 -0700

That’s close but the e has a sharp corner. Are there any Sans where the e is almost a complete circle (not sure if that’s actually right.) It’ll look like an uninterrupted stroke, very fluid without any pinch points, not necessary an perfect circle, but close.

Could it have been HOW

Could it have been HOW magazine using Parisine Plus?

True. It’s weird, I can

Asvetic — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 10:55:55 -0700

True. It’s weird, I can imagine the text but I can’t remember where I saw it or what it’s for and for this I should apologize. I shouldn’t be asking for a type identification without proper examples. I was hoping the braintrust here at Typophile could help. It’s not a live or die situation though. I do appreciate the suggestions that have been made by Stephen and Nick.

Choosing a typeface based on

Stephen Coles — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 10:42:46 -0700

Choosing a typeface based on one character is inadvisable. It might be better to choose the typeface that works best and then edit the ’e’ so it’s exactly as you want it.

ITC Atelier Sans and Triplex

Asvetic — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 10:09:19 -0700

ITC Atelier Sans and Triplex Sans are very identical. But, I like the simplistic form of JTT’s Aspect, which is more of what I was hoping to find. And it all hinges on that e. It’s strange how few Sans there are that stylized e.

Any more suggestions?

Looking for a sans serif w/ an italicized lc 'e'

Asvetic — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 07:54:26 -0700

Sorry I don’t have an example. I’m pulling from the collective pool here. I’m looking for a Sans Serif where the standard e is styled like an italicized e. I’ve seen examples around, the most recent was the text on the back of the Arrested Development DVD case. I don’t have it, or I’d scan and post (Google only had front covers and everything is in UPPERCASE).

Any suggestions would be helpful.
