Does anyone know what typeface these custom fonts are based on?

‘Blake typeface’ looks a lot like Bureau Grotesque, too.

Stephenson Blake were a Sheffield company, so it does make sense.

I’ve got some brand information about this at work, but I can’t access my machine ’til the morning. I seem to recall it does say something about the fonts, I’ll check.

I would appreciate that.

Sigma appears to be very very close based on the image I provided. However when I compare the Sheffield letter layout pdf to Maple it appears to be very similar to that unless I am mistaken, but the Sheffield letter layout indicates that the font is called Blake, but does not seem to resemble any of the Stephenson Blake fonts that I have seen.

The memory plays tricks.

It seems what I had for this came from here, which, judging by the image in your first post, looks like a page you’ve already found.

Sorry I couldn’t offer more help.

These were written up in an Eye magazine, can’t remember which issue sorry. Also had Tankard’s Granby I think.
