Anyone know what this super-compressed sans is? Similar to Gill Display Compressed or as if someone had squeezed Futura Condensed...!
thanks as ever for your expertise and help!

M

Trying to remember what font was used to make this logo, I know the only modification was made to the top of the 'J', but I have been unable to find one that matches exactly. Especially the J,R,H. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Okay, so this type, i've been looking for it for days, it reminds me of Futura, but it doesn't fit the C nor the M. I've concluded it down to Mostra-type or alike.

Do you think it's a modified type?
If i would say a thicker version of this Gothic type http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/ortizlopez/olround-gothic/

would i be right?

Hi all,

Any thoughts on the old style figures in Gill Sans Pro from a readbility perspective? http://www.monotypefonts.com/PDFs/OTPGill.pdf

Thanks

I recently read Eric Gill's An Essay on Typograhy and found it quite interesting, especially since Gill connects his thoughts on typography and his craft with his whole philosophy on life. Though it is hard to agree with this man on everything, he has some interesting ideas to wrestle with, and it is interestng to read this work 80 years down the road from when he wrote it.

So that was a short recommendation for all of you who can't read my blogpost in Norwegian here:

Anyone know if Gill Sans (or Bitstream's humanist 521) was ever oufitted with oldstyle figures for appropriate numerals?

Thanks
