1953 NACA 1135 Report

Interested in figuring out the main serif font (body text/equations) and the sans-serif font (charts at end of document).

So, how far did some typefaces go?

A few years ago I did this poster which showed various achievements by some iconic or well known typefaces (and one personal preference) This was based on how far the type had traveled from the earths sea level (and still was visible, so I did not include launch notes printed in comic sans!)

I had to make a reprint this week, and this got me wondering. I went for the easy pickings: Typefaces many people know, and achievements/places many people know. But I'm sure there are many more interesting tales of type traveling out there, especially further in history.

So, does anyone have some nice stories?

ID - thank you it's a pleasure to serve you

Any ideas? It looks a lot like Avant Garde, but for the "t" "s" and "k".

Condensed sans-serif with alternate inline version

Looking for the sans-serif typeface used in this infographic with the condensed version as well as the inline condensed version.

Can anyone give me the names of a few fonts that look like this?

I have seen a number of old hand painted signs that include these heavy letters with pointed serifs at the top and bottom. I have drawn an "A" to illustrate this. I have looked all over for a few typefaces that resemble this and have had no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Damien

Design difficulties with multilingual open type font

Hello,

I have a need for a single multilingual font including English, Bengali and Devanagari scripts. My development environment is Windows 7. I am using Type Tool 3.0 for Glyph editing and Microsoft Volt 1.3 for creating Open Type features.

The current state of the project is that I have managed to combine English and Bengali and all features seem to work perfectly in the Volt proofing tool but not so in in Windows MS Word 7 and In-design on Mac OS 10.7, though they are mostly working in these platforms. However in its present state it is not usable due to the following difficulties. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

General Difficulties (Windows + Mac In-Design)

1. Bengali Reph positioning is not working (OT 'abvm' feature)

Do you know this Calligraphic Serif?

I think it's something similar to Zapf Calligraphic. Notice the cross bars on the "f" and "t". Thanks for you help.

On sunday I felt I needed to create a typeface to be able to live with myself. From scratch and in absence of any direct influence. Here's what it has become so far.

What my purpose for this typeface is:
-Relatively big x-height (attenuation of hierarchy)
-Some caps with similitude to the lowercase (e.g B, C, D, P, R) (attenuation of hierarchy)
-Semi Serif with more contrast (without resembling Rotis)
-Combine modulation of stroke with a geometric feel
-Character set will contain old-style figures, ligatures, alternates
-Modest language coverage
-Experiment with interpolation: extra light version will be more geometric, fat version will have a much more modulated stroke.
-Italics with a moderate 5° slope
-Redemption

Anyone know this??
