Continued from here.

Thought it might be Candice, but it is Motter Femina’s Latin Small Letter F With Hook (is there a better name for this character?).
Designed by Othmar Motter and exists in one weight only.

That’s the discontinued Dutch monetary sign called ’florin’. It’s gone the way of the dodo since the Euro finally took over in 2002.

Hej Seb,
absolutely right! :)
Nothing to add but a link to a thread about the florin: http://www.typophile.com/node/13226
Your turn!

Okay, here you go. One of my personal favourites:

Could this be Mixage EF Black by Elsner & Flake?

Dear Katelynn,

right on - it’s the subtle ’Q’ of ITC Mixage Black designed by Aldo Novarese.
Guess that makes it your turn. Have fun!

Seb

Well, I was gosh darn close! Now to find a good one for the next challenge...

Well guys, here is the new one. Being a newbie here, I had a hard time deciding how obscure to be with this, so I hope I didnt make it too easy. I suppose I shall soon find out.

Hmm. A clue perhaps?

The roman of this font (this is the italic, book italic rather) was a 90’s revision of the work of Lucian Bernhard.

I lovelovelove this font.

Well, then I think it’s Belucian Book Italic.

Right on! Perhaps because my name starts with “k”, I am partial to fonts with an interesting “k”. Vibertus is next on my purchase list for this very reason. Your go!

Thanks, Katelynn.
Here we go:

Have fun!

Marcelo, how about a little hint?

Yes, yes , my bad.

The designer died ten years ago.

Ah thanks! So this must be the nice ’ffi’ ligature in Phill Grimshaw’s ITC Klepto.

You’re right! it’s Klepto by Phill Grimshaw but in fact, is the ‘ffl’ ligature ;-)

Your turn, seb.

Okay, und noch einmal!

This made my day, some days it just comes to you! Seb I believe this is FF Zapata Black by Erik van Blokland. Released in 1997.

Well Naoise, you are spot on! It surely is a beautiful face, just begging for an opportunity to show itself.

...and glad I could help in improving your day, it’s your turn now and I am looking forward to it.

Ich bin dran! Lets stick with the Deutsch. I give you the lowercase ’a’ from from a typeface I love.

I think it’s NB Grotesk 65 — Halbfett by Stefan Gandl.

Good man Seány, du bist dran!

hello, i’d love to know which type this is!
can anybody name it?
thank you

Start a new thread, tikitown.

- Lex

Here we are.

Is it Co Headline Regular by Ron Carpenter?

It is indeed, congrats!

Thank you!
And this is the new one. Here we go.

Well, it’s not Cadena Black.

It’s Eli Castellanos’ delightful Barricada published through Sudtipos.

Yes, Sebastian, you’re right. It’s Barricada.
Your turn now.

Hurrah! So here it is.

Seems like it is time for a little hint. This is the section sign from a typeface that was among the winners of the 2003 Type Directors Club Competition.

Sauna Black.

Well done, Craig! Now it’s your turn.

Hint: a 1930s design, redrawn by ITC.

An incredible smile... but I really don’t have a new challenge ;)

Is this small-x-height font just a ♬ cold and lonely, lovely work of art ♪ for the rest of you?

ITC Mona Lisa Solid I think.

Bingo, smongey! You’re up again.

Thanks Craig,

I guess I’ll get straight to the point!

The hint was in my initial comment.

FF Unit ?

Afraid not?

This typeface was designed in 2003 and then got a facelift in 2006. I can also say that it has 7 weights with small caps and italics complementing each weight.

Apex New... That d really threw me off Sean!

Well done!

Perhaps this one was a little abstract. It took a good while to crack.

Sorry for holding things up.

Yeah but you gave a nice clue at the start... Straight to the point haha! :) seems obvious now!

Sorry for the delay, I was in Amsterdam for the weekend and couldn’t put up an image!

Lineto’s Number Two

Eh… Just realised I can win this one. So what now?

*sorry, meant to say I can’t win this one.

You just destroyed my fun! Thanks Sean! haha!

Hey Robert,
do you like to start another challenge?
Thanks,
F

Rooobeeert, where are you‽

Hey Guys, sorry I was away trying to get a job… Ha! I thought Sean would have just stuck up another one! I’ll put up another one now sorry… Oh while I’m here anyone need a graphic designer! ha!

I hope this will be a nice simple one to make up for my absence! I’m sorry again!

Hi Robbie,

is it the G of Fontbureau’s Hermes, the more rational variant of Heinz Hoffmann’s Block?

Good luck with finding a nice job!
F

Spot on Florian, as always! I told you this was a nice easy one! your turn!

Yay! :-D
Okeee, let’s see how long this one will take you. No hints for now.
Have fun!

Vector illustrations don’t count...

Hehe … :-D
Not a vector illustration. Not a free font.

Lowercase i ?

Hi Tiffany,
lowercase: yes, ‘i’: no.
F

Somehow, this reminds me of a strange blackletter lowercase “e”.

Not a blackletter font, not an ‘e’.

The letter is from the Italics – which are part of a large (and growing) family.

zed?

Not a ‘z’ either, sorry.

This typeface family is made in the Netherlands.

? dotless I?

Hi Craig,
no, not a dotless ‘i’.

This letter is not made for the Netherlands.

One of these?

Way less obscure, believe me! :^D

Is it an x?

Hi Katharina,
not an ‘x’, sorry.

Quite a number of fellow typophiles might have become acquainted with this character only two weeks ago (though not with this very glyph, necessarily).

So it’s one of these.

That’s right! It’s an Cyrillic lowercase letter Ge (or Ghe), italic style: г

Now you only have to hunt down the grand typeface! :—)

In some way, it reminds me of Darden’s Freight Display or Big but I really don’t know if there is a cyrillic version of it :(

Not Freight. But you are right, it is a display cut of a greater family that started out with regular cuts for text sizes. The typeface in question is even younger than Freight.

Come on now, folks! I know there are a lot of type designers in the Netherlands – but not all of them do Cyrillics, do they?

Greta Grande?

Yes, Marcelo! It is Greta Grande (Bold Italic) by Peter Biľak and Nikola Djurek, from Typotheque in The Hague. The Cyrillics were designed by Alexei Kassian and Gayaneh Bagdasaryan.

The four weights are intended for large headlines (above 30pt), and therefore are designed with extreme contrast between the thick and thin, tight spacing and refined details. — typotheque.com

The next addition to the Greta family will be a Greta Mono.

Your turn!

Great!
Here it is:
