I need to find out what this font used in the Acne Jeans logo is www.acnejeans.com . I’ve been searching my folders and the web for hours, but can’t find the perfect match. Sorry for the bad pic..

I thought it was a Times too but could’nt find an exact match. I couldn’t find a Times with the J below the baseline.

Or the ’c’ with such a pronounced ball cusp.

Or a Times with the angeled serif on the top of the ’n’..

Hi

you may want to mail them directly

http://www.acne.se/

they are not just a fashion company, they are one of Swedens most successful design and advertising agencies at the moment and do all of their own design. They may have well created the logo freehand.

It looks like a display face from the early seventies to me, though I can’t nail it exactly.

It’s almost like a condensed ITC Tiffany.

Tiffany has the wrong ’e’. I’m with Mark on the vintage but it’s not in my book.

Do you think they’ll ever make facewash?
