Woohoo! Thanks a lot Yves, for taking the time. And good luck on your mysterious change of life situation.

Bald Condensed — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 03:15:18 -0700

All quizzes will be rebooted this weekend, and this one will indeed use the same system as the other two.

Sorry about slacking, but August 1st will be the culmination of possibly the most radical change in my professional life.

This thread seriously needs updates. Bald Condensed, could you perhaps just announce all the correct answers so far, and then pass on the quiz-duty like in the other quizzes?

Thanks for starting this, even though I haven’t had the faintest clue yet! :)

Correct answers so far:

Fling! You’re a rabbit!

Bald Condensed — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 15:12:45 -0800

Fling! You’re a rabbit! ;^) Here’s what Mili had to say:
“Stephen Coles’ birthday wishes were written with Fling and alternatives.
Linotype has this information:
Fling was designed by Michael Gills in 1995. This richly ornamented typeface is based on the basic forms of the well-mannered scripts of the late 19th century. Intricate and generous capitals contrast with reserved, almost simple lower case letters and the upright figures give Fling a sophisticated, elegant look. The capitals can also be used as initials and the many ligatures and alternative letter forms offer a variety of design possibilities.”

Just when you thought it’d never happen again, here’s a new beginner’s quiz. As usual, no replying within the thread, but e-mail me the solution through my profile.

Basically it’s me that has to come up with something new, but I keep forgetting to add a new challenge due to pressing writing duties. My bad. :^/

This is how it works:

A couple of words are published in the Type ID Pop Quiz, possibly — but not necessarily — providing a hint.
Try to identify the typeface. To win, you need to e-mail me both the correct name and weight. Do not reply in the thread itself to allow other enthusiasts to participate.
Show off your knowledge by casually mentioning additional trivia, like who designed it, when and by whom was it (first) published, and other cool stuff to impress your fellow Typophiles with.
Every week a new challenge will be posted.

In case of any disputes, I will act as judge, jury and avenging angel of wrath.

If you think this is too easy, maybe try the Intermediary Level Type ID Pop Quiz or Expert Level Type ID Pop Quiz.

Good luck everyone, and have fun. ;^)
