This is how it works:
- A complete glyph is published in the Type ID Pop Quiz.
- Try to identify the typeface. To win, you need to name both the typeface and the weight.
- Show off your knowledge by casually mentioning additional trivia, like who designed it, when and by whom was it (first) published, and other cool stuff to impress your fellow Typophiles with.
- The winner produces a new challenge -- a complete glyph, black on white background, presented in a 288 x 288 pixel square, including a R204G000B00 1 pixel border.
- The person who posts a challenge can't win the next game.
In case of any disputes, I will act as judge, jury and avenging angel of wrath.
If you think this is a little too difficult, maybe try the Entry Level Type ID Pop Quiz first. Too easy? Go to the Expert Level Type ID Pop Quiz.
Good luck everyone, and have fun. ;^)

Thought it might be Candice, but it is Motter Femina's Latin Small Letter F With Hook (is there a better name for this character?).
Designed by Othmar Motter and exists in one weight only.

That's the discontinued Dutch monetary sign called 'florin'. It's gone the way of the dodo since the Euro finally took over in 2002.
21 Jul 2008 — 8:02am
Hej Seb,
absolutely right! :)
Nothing to add but a link to a thread about the florin: http://www.typophile.com/node/13226
Your turn!

Okay, here you go. One of my personal favourites:
25 Jul 2008 — 5:03pm
Could this be Mixage EF Black by Elsner & Flake?
26 Jul 2008 — 11:11am
Dear Katelynn,
right on - it's the subtle 'Q' of ITC Mixage Black designed by Aldo Novarese.
Guess that makes it your turn. Have fun!
Seb

Well, I was gosh darn close! Now to find a good one for the next challenge...
28 Jul 2008 — 6:33am
Well guys, here is the new one. Being a newbie here, I had a hard time deciding how obscure to be with this, so I hope I didnt make it too easy. I suppose I shall soon find out.
30 Jul 2008 — 5:41am
Hmm. A clue perhaps?
The roman of this font (this is the italic, book italic rather) was a 90's revision of the work of Lucian Bernhard.
I lovelovelove this font.
30 Jul 2008 — 7:04am
Well, then I think it's Belucian Book Italic.
30 Jul 2008 — 12:27pm
Right on! Perhaps because my name starts with "k", I am partial to fonts with an interesting "k". Vibertus is next on my purchase list for this very reason. Your go!
30 Jul 2008 — 9:01pm
Thanks, Katelynn.
Here we go:
Have fun!
3 Aug 2008 — 5:38am
Marcelo, how about a little hint?
3 Aug 2008 — 5:33pm
Yes, yes , my bad.
The designer died ten years ago.
4 Aug 2008 — 1:00am
Ah thanks! So this must be the nice 'ffi' ligature in Phill Grimshaw's ITC Klepto.
4 Aug 2008 — 8:09am
You're right! it's Klepto by Phill Grimshaw but in fact, is the ‘ffl’ ligature ;-)
Your turn, seb.
4 Aug 2008 — 11:47pm
Okay, und noch einmal!
5 Aug 2008 — 2:59am
This made my day, some days it just comes to you! Seb I believe this is FF Zapata Black by Erik van Blokland. Released in 1997.
5 Aug 2008 — 3:10am
Well Naoise, you are spot on! It surely is a beautiful face, just begging for an opportunity to show itself.
...and glad I could help in improving your day, it's your turn now and I am looking forward to it.
5 Aug 2008 — 4:13am
Ich bin dran! Lets stick with the Deutsch. I give you the lowercase 'a' from from a typeface I love.
6 Aug 2008 — 7:43am
I think it's NB Grotesk 65 — Halbfett by Stefan Gandl.
6 Aug 2008 — 7:49am
Good man Seány, du bist dran!
7 Aug 2008 — 7:30am
hello, i'd love to know which type this is!
can anybody name it?
thank you
7 Aug 2008 — 3:16pm
Start a new thread, tikitown.

8 Aug 2008 — 3:50pm
Here we are.
10 Aug 2008 — 9:55pm
Is it Co Headline Regular by Ron Carpenter?
11 Aug 2008 — 4:44am
It is indeed, congrats!
11 Aug 2008 — 6:11pm
Thank you!
And this is the new one. Here we go.
12 Aug 2008 — 1:26am
Well, it’s not Cadena Black.
12 Aug 2008 — 2:37am
It's Eli Castellanos' delightful Barricada published through Sudtipos.
12 Aug 2008 — 2:42am
Yes, Sebastian, you’re right. It’s Barricada.
Your turn now.
12 Aug 2008 — 3:39am
Hurrah! So here it is.
13 Aug 2008 — 11:19pm
Seems like it is time for a little hint. This is the section sign from a typeface that was among the winners of the 2003 Type Directors Club Competition.
14 Aug 2008 — 12:01am
Sauna Black.
14 Aug 2008 — 12:26am
Well done, Craig! Now it's your turn.
14 Aug 2008 — 12:37am
15 Aug 2008 — 6:00am
Hint: a 1930s design, redrawn by ITC.
15 Aug 2008 — 8:08am
An incredible smile... but I really don't have a new challenge ;)
15 Aug 2008 — 12:55pm
Is this small-x-height font just a ♬ cold and lonely, lovely work of art ♪ for the rest of you?
15 Aug 2008 — 3:48pm
ITC Mona Lisa Solid I think.
15 Aug 2008 — 4:20pm
Bingo, smongey! You're up again.
15 Aug 2008 — 5:23pm
Thanks Craig,
I guess I'll get straight to the point!
23 Aug 2008 — 3:52am
The hint was in my initial comment.
27 Aug 2008 — 3:35am
FF Unit ?
27 Aug 2008 — 1:35pm
Afraid not?
This typeface was designed in 2003 and then got a facelift in 2006. I can also say that it has 7 weights with small caps and italics complementing each weight.
27 Aug 2008 — 1:37pm
Apex New... That d really threw me off Sean!
27 Aug 2008 — 1:40pm
Well done!
Perhaps this one was a little abstract. It took a good while to crack.
Sorry for holding things up.
27 Aug 2008 — 1:52pm
Yeah but you gave a nice clue at the start... Straight to the point haha! :) seems obvious now!
2 Sep 2008 — 5:33pm
Sorry for the delay, I was in Amsterdam for the weekend and couldn't put up an image!
