Time to reboot the Type ID Pop Quiz - Entry Level. New challenge. As usual, no replying within the thread, but e-mail me the solution through my profile.

All right, looks like we’re rolling! Correct answers so far:

Ties Linders | Michael Albright | Jan Erdmann (who thinks this one is not really a challenge, but hey, it does read “Entry Level” at the top ;^) | Eric Hague (yes indeed, this is exactly how it works, good one ;^) | Mili Carr | Tiffany Wardle | Craig Hughes | Stuart Marks | Marco de Meijer | Katju Aro | Frank Finnegan

I didn’t mean to complain. Intermediate Level is just too hard for me.
Thanks for doing all this, Yves. It’s fun.

Hey, complain all you want! :^P I don’t mind. As long as we’re having fun! ;^)

Really, I’m not bothered.

Hey I emailed you! Ok, well IM’d you.

What does it say? “(...), but e-mail me the solution through my profile.” :^P

:^P Ok Ok. I stand corrected.

Any more fun for the noobs?

Yeah, Yves: you’re not off watching the Tour de France, so how about posting a new challenge? ;-)

So, any tips on how one would identify it? I want to become better at IDing fonts, so any hints would be great.

EDIT: Any hints on how, that is. /EDIT

Of course, it probably requires you own or have access to a slew of fonts so you should be able to already know it on sight...

This probably is way out of my league, even as Entry level.

Certainly, familiarity helps (you’ve got the font, you’ve seen it a lot and previously identified it, etc.), but using the tools at identifont.com and myfonts.com will make life easier. Other helpful sites are TypeNavigator at FontShop, Font Finder at linotype.com, and the extended question set at Fonts.com.

And then there’s just looking at a lot of fonts. ;-)

Yes, indeed, this was Zuzana Licko’s Triplex. Here’s a new challenge, and it aint no coincidence I post this today. As usual, no replying within the thread, but e-mail me the solution through my profile.

Correct answers so far:

Michael Albright | Sam Schlesinger | Craig Hughes | Kev Stone | Matthew A. Pemrich | Frank Finnegan (sorry Frank, somehow overlooked your e-mail :^/) | Derek Schusterbauer | Mili Carr | Jan Erdmann | Mandy Milks | James Mark Hatley | Tom Christensen | Katju Aro | Nate Mueller

Cute bit of trivia: the typeface name is the sound my three year old daughter makes when she waves her toy magic wand. :^)

…me too.

Frustrated. Waiting for result.

EDIT: Completed, listed. Still feel dumb.

Hey see that font every where...on Blue Print, in Wholefoods. What happen to this thread it just ended?!

Whoops, just lost track of it. New challenge coming up.

Is this stalled? Should someone come up with something to keep this going?

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. :^/

Unless someone feels like posting a challenge?

If you’re going to open it up to anyone to post a challenge, someone might just take you up on it..... ;-)

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.
