Hello,

Would anyone have any idea as to what typeface the main text (not the large print) in this scanned image might be?

It appears to be condensed but I’m not sure.

Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.

Fred.

I’m thinking FF Absara Sans, but the sample’s a bit small for me to verify it to my satisfaction.

At that size, it could be anything — but my guess is Syntax Bold.

That was the one I was thinking about, Marc — I was looking for that distinctive “g,” and Absara was the only one I could think of at the time. Very nice; I think you’re right.

Hello Auricfuzz and Marcox,

Thanks heaps for the suggestion. It looks to me like you’re spot on (wish there was a free equivalent...).

Best regards,
Fred.
