Can someone help me identify this font? thanks!
(x) Downtown Deli - Quicksilver (Neon Lights)
Here's another chromium rounded geometric sans. I seem remember this one from old rub-down lettering catalogues, but don't ask me its name...
That's Neon Lights, and it's free. For my money, however, I like Letraset's Chromium 1 better.
Jinx, Yves!
The font is also known as Quicksilver & Quantum
Quicksilver is the original Letraset name for it. Chromium One is a different Letraset font along similar lines.
It also appears that Letraset's Quicksilver is only available in the form of crummy unauthorized free fonts.
Yup, an unfortunate fate for quite a few typefaces it seems...
Dean Morris, the designer of Quicksilver was kind enough to give us a history of it here: http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/forum/viewthread.php?threadid=22838
So I’ve dug up this old thread to share it with you.
P.S. Once upon a time Bitstream had digitized it — also, OPTIFONTS had it.
as i mention in a couple other locations, i’m posting on flickr examples of quicksilver i collected with more to come.
