I just noticed how different the n’s are ... probably not a font. If you could suggest something with a fancy ’A’ and ’y’ ... similar but doesn’t have to even be close ... it will be appreciated.

“Anniversary” It’s hand written.

”... ID the font(s)”

“Sale” is obviously a Bodoni that has been unspeakably “squooshed”. The culprit will soon be arrested, handcuffed and driven away by the typographic police.

I’d rather think it’s Times (which says a lot about how much torture it had to go through). ;^)

If you ’unsquoosh’ it in Photoshop you get this.

I stand corrected! You’ll have to excuse me for not wanting to trawl through dozens of Bodoni digitizations to confirm this one, so let’s just leave it at ’Bodoni’. I really was convinced it was Times. Good one, Simon, and sorry for giving the impression I was trying to snag your ID. ;^)

Thanks and no worries at all. They become pretty much identical after such a violent mangling.

Maybe ‘Bodoni after a Traffic Accident’.
