condensed

Hi!
My name is Abel Martín and that is my first post at Typophile :)

My question is about that wood type that i have in my letterpress cabinet.
I would like know the name and maybe some about the history...

Thanks!

After almost seven years of putting it off the time has finally come to assemble a portfolio and stationary etc. Over the last few months I've been looking at a number of typefaces to use for 'branding' myself so to speak and have almost certainly settled on Akzidenz Grotesk Condensed Light and Regular.

The things I love –

  • The vertical sides to the C, D, G, O and Q characters.
  • It's subtly square–ish appearance (for example the bowl on the P and R characters).
  • The straight diagonal leg of the R character.
  • It's history and heritage.
  • I love condensed fonts.
  • It is very utilitarian and simple.
    • The things I do not love –

    In the April 7th 2013 issue of New York Times Magazine, they use a rounded-condensed Sans Serif that has square tops (sorry for the incorrect terminology) on the capital A. Anyone know what this is or who makes it? (See attached image)

    Hello - -this post follows up on a search fro a very similar condensed serif used for Time-Life (http://typophile.com/node/102039)

    I am trying to identify the typeface used in a Hernan Bas catalogue from last year, published by Distanz in Germany... any help much appreciated, thank you!


    Hello

    We would love to know what font is used on this very popular series of books published in the late 80s by Time-Life

    As ever, many thanks for your time and expertise! This post is also related to an enquiry about a similar tpyeface used on a Hernan Bas catalogue from Germany which I will be posting next...

    Condensed Bauhaus Font

    Hi there,

    Just trying to find out what this font is. Many thanks!

    I'm looking for a versatile and (dare I say it) modern condensed grotesque, mainly for headlines and shorter texts.

    I need:

    - upper and lowercase
    - italics
    - A few weights would be nice
    - the ability to use as a webfont.

    I've been using this as a "placeholder" for now:

    Any suggestions?

    Best regards
    Mads

    So I'm doing this poster and don't want to hassle with finding the perfect wood type, but I want something with a little more character that's available in digital. I'm currently using Grotzec X-Narrow Bold with some mods, but I'm not set on it. Hoping to get some other suggestions to very condensed grotesques that look a little more like wood type with interesting idiosyncrasies.

    Thanks for the help,
    Joseph

    What font is this or any very similar to it? Particularly looking for something with the subtle rounded edge.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    I love this font... any idea?

    Can any one ID this for me. I thought Tungsten but it's not...

    Hey there typophilers,

    I was wondering if you guys can help me identify "ELIXIR"s wine bottle typeface.

    I am trying to identify a font I’ve seen in Paris, for the communication of “Les Ateliers de Paris”.
    The same font is used here: http://www.marieclaireidees.com/data/photo/w308_c17/boutique-ephemere.jpg

    Anyone can help me?

    Greetings,
    Long time Typophile reader, first time posting.
    Anyhow, I can't identify the condensed sans-serif typeface used by Utrecht in nearly all of their promotional materials— I thought it might have been Folio Condensed or Anzeigen Grotesk at one point, but Folio Condensed (at least the light version) seems to have a lower x-height, and Anzeigen comes only in bold and the capital "R" is markedly different.
    Please advise.

    Thanks!
    Robert

    Hi All!

    I met this beautiful, condensed italic font (serif, but not very much) in my (previous) paperback edition of [The Design of Everyday Things] (wonderful book, BTW); but I cannot exactly identify the font.

    Can anyone help identify the above font and equivalents.

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    I'm looking for a Bold Condensed / Compressed that matches "Solano" only with Hebrew Characters?

    Does anyone know where to head to?

    Thank you

    Alex
