hi typophiles, can someone id this font?
thx, romesh

It's so familiar...

I just can't remember where I saw it.


hi people, this one has been designed by pascal bejean, whom i'm worknig with at the labomatic studio (labomatic.org), you can buy it directly here http://typotek.free.fr/caracteres/labomatic.html
you can send me a mail, i'll give you his mail.


merci yves, je lui dirai de vive voix !
i'll tell him (for those who don't speak french)


thanks alot, bender. this is really a beautiful typeface.


(and why french!);) I can


I can't help you with the French part, although I'm sure some here can do that too. As for the Mac-only format, it might be time for you to look into font conversion tools. I know FontLab has TransType, and I believe there are other tools around, possibly even shareware/freeware. (I use Fontographer to convert PC to Mac when needed, but that's a different investment.)


By the way, I happened across a similar-looking font yesterday in the Indie Fonts 2 book: Identikal's Angol. It doesn't have the mix of angular & normal letters that Labomatik has, or the ink-trap design detail (as far as I can see in the samples), but it is quite similar in concept, to my eyes.


Go to http://www.labomatic.org, in contact you'll find the pascal's mail. He speaks a better english that mine and will be glad to respond to your answer.


Wow, c'est merveilleux! Wonderful use of ink traps as
an aesthetic device. This is a beautiful typeface. Mes
compliments au typographiste! :-)
