No, they didn't really match. Almost all striped typefaces I have seen are roundish, like lc "a". What I look for is the strictness in this one, more like an striped futura.

Check out "Mirage" from George Williams

"You are? Lucky dude. Give him a hug from me and tell him I said hi!!"
I will remeber to remind Stephen about that. Especially the hug ,)

fredrik - that's a scan from the new Strokes CD right?

Looks like a photo, but it's certainly something related to 'Room On Fire'. And who'd say they were using a free font? Bah. What a boring album, BTW...

"Is that a Mac or PC
TrueType freeware font?"

I have it on my PC, but there seems to be a Mac version too

"Damn right! How are your wife and micro-Bruhn doing?"
Both are fine & little minature micro inside Lottas Sstomach is fine too

See this thread.
Hmm ... I never did get co-credit for that ID.  

Yeah, Mike's right. It's Prisma, issued by Klingspor in 1931.

Damnit you guys are great. The question was from a friend and I had no clue of where he got it from...

thanks again!

There's a whole thread about striped typefaces, though I
don't think there's an exact match amongst the suggestions
made. Have a look there and come back to us if you need
more information.

I luuuurve multilinears. And you're right about the round
ones being most common. This one I would file in the
Futura category. Others in the group:

Odessa / Zeppelin

Sadly, these aren't what you're looking for. Not surprised if
it's custom.

Later folks! I'm off to visit Peter in Malm

You are? Lucky dude. Give him a hug from me and tell him
I said hi!

NovelFonts sold a font called Prancer. Looking for a sample.

Didn't David Hamuel once ID a striped face in that vein
that hadn't been digitized yet? David, where are ye?

At Typophile, you get that little extra: type identification
with free complimentary music reviews. What a service!

Yep, that's it Jan! Briliant catch! Is that a Mac or PC
TrueType freeware font?

Well, there ya go Fredrik. With special thanks to Jan.

I'm fairly certain Mirage and Prancer are both renditions of
some other font, or maybe a photo type thing. Either way
they have the same source design. Nice find, Jan.

Congratulations! Well, we found it without your help.
I thought I remembered this one being IDed by you.
