Motter Ombra typeface?
Hi guys,
http://www.superfamous.com/bin/olw/olw3.gif
I think this font is called "Motter Ombra" but I'm not quite sure. If anyone can lead me to the right direction as to where to purchase this typeface or if someone can provide the correct name for this typeface, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

Yes Basit, it is Motter Ombra, I have checked it in an old letraset catalog.
But as BJ said, I am afraid it is not digitized yet.

The sample is of the 1980 spanish Letraset catalog.

This is so kewl, especially with the spiral binding
included in the scan.

Was this designed by the same person(s) that designed Motter Corpus?

Hey Ignacio, I was wondering if there are still places in Madrid where you can get the old Letraset/Mecanorma catalogues (pre-computer days). When I moved to the US I made the mistake of giving mine away and now I regret it.
Is the old Letraset store in Mayor 4 still there?

Basit -- sorry, I'm just getting online today ...
I'm emailing you (basit (aaatttt) imyj.com) the info I promised late last night.
Ignacio, that is a sweet scan (it'd make a nice
mini-poster).

Yes. Othmar Motter.
He also designed ITC Motter Femina, FF Motter Festival, ITC Motter Sparta and Motter Tektura - which was Apple used in its early corporate branding.

Wow thanks for the information guys.
Ignacio: Thanks for the scan, now all I have to do is go out and grab the Letraset catalog from somewhere and try to digitalize it myself. The whole typeface looks amazing
Bj: Thanks for the information you sent me, I will get in touch with him soon.
