Right on the nose.

The word not only looks like "dam," it sounds just like it, too. Maybe it was a glitch.

Anyone know about the roughness of those worn areas of Federal? I'd be more inclined to get it if I knew that those areas look more organic in the real deal.

lower-case e?

What? Is this the whole glyph?

A-ha!

This is Giampa's Bodoni 26.
There's something strange with those curves, or I'm seeing things again? :-)))

Well, I came back to this thread this morning, and noticed the peculiar curve discontinuity (where the horizontal stroke meets the left curve stroke). My first guess was Lanston Bodoni 26... so I went to Lanston's website, looked at the PDF and posted the answer. Why? :-)

New quiz tomorrow.

Oops... sorry for not posting sooner.

LC 'p' of Linotype Granjon Italic? Or the Adobe version?

Not Granjon. It is an italic p, though.
Here's another sample (different glyph, same typeface):

Need more hints?

Correct.

Surf's up = Carson

Is it Pure Capital?

I suppose the name of the family is Pure, and Pure Capital
is just one version.
I don't see the Pure family at GarageFonts ... I thought
that's where it was. hmmm.

Suitcase type foundry?

Katarine?

Sorry, I was out on jury duty and then gone for the weekend on semi-business. My private time went straight out the window. But I'm back now -- bring it on, Franz!

I'm completely swamped with deadlines right now, I'd love to hang around here instead, believe me..

Lowercase Z it is.

It's a very recent font.
Different glyph:

Let's just say that it would have been impossible to post this quiz two weeks ago

Plume bold

Correct, it's Plume Bold. Ok, that one may have been a bit too recent.. But it seemed like a fun challenge. BTW, the font's release was announced on these forums.

Bring it on!

That's how I found it, thanks to a telling clue...

New quiz shortly...

OK, here you go. Tiff, this time try to wait ten minutes before you solve it, wouldja?

I'd say no, but I'd be lying. Yes, cap G.

Bloc extra condensed? from Paratype?

What I used was Bitstream's Gothic 821, but as the two look identical, I'm giving it to you. Nice job, BJ!

(Yay, I lasted a whole hour!)

By the way, the Type ID Pop Quiz just had its first birthday on March 20. Happy belated birthday, Type ID Pop Quiz! You've gotten so big!

Thanks, Yves -- the Quiz makes a young father so proud...

(wiping tears from eyes)

Congrats to Chesh ... Papa Quiz.
It just seems like yesterday that Little Pop was crawling!

here's a new one ...

happy birthday Kenn!

any guesses ... wanna clue?

It comes FROM a registered Mark, but it's not a registered mark.

It's actually not even an R.


bj

Hehehehehee!! Federal 12

What word did you use? That doesn't look like the usual censoring.

New Type ID Quiz

> correct

Umm, Eduardo, are you seeing things? ;) Yes, it is the whole glyph.

Eduardo you are correct. Just two questions. How long did it take to find it? OR How did you recognize it?

Just curious. So many didones, so little time. ;)

Eduardo, don't pull a "troubleman" on us. Where's the new quiz?

Is it JFP's Sabon Next Italic?

Nonononono, the curves tell me it's a design by Sumner Stone,
especially the way the "e" joins. I think it's an italic display
weight of Cycles, but i'm still trying to determine which one.

Okay, here's my guess: Cycles Thirty-Six Italic, lowercase p, e & g.

Woohoo!

Surf's up!

lowercase k

Lowercase "k" is correct.

It's not Rodney Shelden Fehsenfeld's Pure, which has
indeed disappeared from the Garagefonts collection,
as have his other fonts.

Sorry'bout the misleading "Surf's up": it's not a clue.

Okidoki, hints are in order I presume.

Young foundry, recent typeface.

Hmmm... excellent deduction, my esteemed colleague.
Are we in for a game of ping pong?

I thought that now that Eduardo nailed the source of
the sample everybody'd be scrambling to get the ID
but no. Looks like they all went brain-dead. Funny how
the Type ID Pop Quiz periodically runs out of steam.

Aha, THERE you are! Whassup with everyone?
It is indeed Tomas Brousil's Katarine.
