First I tried looking at chanceries, but they yielded nothing. I was hoping PsyOps would show something, but I didn't find anything there either. I'm kind of stumped. Maybe we'll receive a good hint.
And I searched the Fountain catalogue, to similar ends. I thought that might have been why we haven't heard anything from Peter in the last couple of days...
This one is driving me crazy. I've gone through all of Lars known faces, I've searched through dozens of specimen books. The thought of this z consumed my whole weekend. Ahhrg!!
Humana? I don't think so. The terminal doesn't curl in enough and the transition doesn't have enough contrast.
MiramarItalic The terminal here curls too much. Plus the connection to the diagonal stem is a straight one in the quiz sample, not notched like Miramar.

Bottom of the lowercase z from Comenius Italic?
25 Mar 2003 — 2:18pm
Sorry Nathan, this is
not part of Comenius!
25 Mar 2003 — 2:29pm
Hint? Ok!
This type was launched
by one "Nordic" foundrie!
25 Mar 2003 — 2:31pm
Fabio, how about a little hint? For example, can the font be found on MyFonts? That at least narrows the field a little.
25 Mar 2003 — 2:33pm
Cross-post! OK, Fabio, you can ignore the request I just made. Thanks for the hint.

25 Mar 2003 — 3:35pm
Cheshire, you passed far ;D
Stephen, you arrived well close!
25 Mar 2003 — 5:40pm
doves italic z? it's close, but... any hints in the near future?
25 Mar 2003 — 5:44pm
it could be ludovico italic z, but i can't see the entire glyph. blast.
25 Mar 2003 — 5:49pm
Looks like one of Lars Bergquist's italic z's but I can't seem to find the right one.
26 Mar 2003 — 12:23am
Lower case z by Doves Pro italic by Torbj
26 Mar 2003 — 12:36am
no strike that - it's not Doves!

whole weekend. Ahhrg!!
26 Mar 2003 — 7:59am
we need more hints asseblief. or i just need more leads from other people.
waht a hyena i am.
26 Mar 2003 — 8:34am
I know Stephen already looked - but could it be Frank Luin's Humana? uc Z?
26 Mar 2003 — 8:37am
or MiramarItalic?
26 Mar 2003 — 8:48am
Humana?
I don't think so. The terminal doesn't curl in enough and the transition doesn't have enough contrast.
MiramarItalic
The terminal here curls too much. Plus the connection to the diagonal stem is a straight one in the quiz sample, not notched like Miramar.

A tip to close: Is one
Swedish foundrie! But, no
Omnibus or Olson Fonts...
This foundrie launched
only one type !
Good LOOK ;D
26 Mar 2003 — 9:17am
Indigo Antiqua Italic
26 Mar 2003 — 9:27am
YEAHHHHHHH!!!
Nathan Matteson, you
this absolutely CERTAIN!
Congratulations!
26 Mar 2003 — 9:36am
Thanks Fabio. I'm in a meeting right now - shouldn't be on Typophile ;-) - but I'll post an ID in a little bit.
25 Mar 2003 — 3:20pm
I just search Franko Luin's entire catalog much to the
chagrin of my employer and to no avail!
25 Mar 2003 — 3:32pm
It's not one of Olsson's either.
