Let's nail these 13. The talent scouts are watching.

No, really.

13

I tellya dude, you're a friggin' lunatic. No, really.


Looks to me like Neutraface Demi Smallcaps Alternate - slightly extended.


Oops. No. But I know it. FF Font Six. Neville Brody something...


> Device Regulator
Nope, the most obvious is the different 'G', sample
is wider too. I was also veering (pardon the pun) to
a Rian Hughes design i must admit.

> Neutraface Demi Smallcaps Alternate
Nope, 'M' is different, narrower, and look at that 'K'.


> FF Typeface 6
Nope, Neville can't draw a decent 'S'.


Well gee, not that either. But I wouldn't be surprised if Brody
was behind this one.


Nah, it's too good. I root for Rian.


Really? I think Regulator has more problems than Typeface 6 & 7.


It's not Regulator, but it certainly isn't FF Typeface 6:
Neville's 'S' is just two circle arcs connected by a
straight line. This 'S' is very well designed.


Hot damn, you were RIGHT, Stephen. It's customized
Insignia. All the little sticking-out bits have been
chopped off. So Neville CAN draw a decent 'S' after all
(well, most probably someone at Linotype digitized that
one, but still...).


Well, I'll be! That it is. Just when I was starting to doubt
myself. I guess I let the ol' instincts take over on that one.

They sure made a pretty thing out of Insignia. Wonder
where the sample is from.


It's weird how this defining charasteristic has you
ruling out the possibility if it's missing. I didn't
even check Insignia at first, convinced as I was that
it couldn't be it.

Well done, partner! No too bad a team, if I might
say so myself.


That Q is totally Vogue-esque...
:D
