Actually I was thinking "Welsh Music Fun-Dation!!!"

I can't find any other sites selling it, any ideas?

And another one!

I have to make up some signs that match an existing one, and I can do it all except the font. Anyone any ideas? It's not one of the many installed on my system.

Damn! I always have problems with image links nowadays.

Hmmm. Is there an easy way to work it out? I see the curves are actually quite flat, and the I has little lugs, but that doesn't really help me.

Probably "Alpha Headline" (see lineto.com). However, I think it's been stretched vertically in photoshop by about 15% (which cheapens the look of any typeface).

Unfortunately, I don't think that font is available for purchase at the moment (Mitsubishi has an exclusive license for it til 2012). You may be able to find a clone. Not sure.

Looks quite a bit like Bell Gothic, too, although the curve on the "O" and "C" is slightly different.

Thanks for all your help on this, usingthe name 'alpha headline' as a starting point I managed to track down a free version of the font used on UK car number plates, which is close enough for my purposes.

Here's a linke:

Thanks!

i was just going to say it looks like a number plate font

http://www.identifont.com/

is a useful resource sometimes.

Anybody know what this is?

Reminds me of some kids' dinosaur book.

isn't that font used in the movie Jurassic Park?

It's Show Card Gothic

Thank you! I was losing my mind with identifont!

I am using it everywhere. I am in wuv.

I used that one alla time circa 2002.

a shinny nickel for anyone who can name this one!

I'll do it for a footy dime.

I think it's Zeppelin:

Good call.

I can't tell if this is a hand cut or just a shitty photo:

http://www.fathom.com/course/10701032/104_king.jpg

either way, i can't find the font

Baker, I'm guessing? But not quite...

A hand-drawn take on Optima maybe?

No, the capital Q is different.

How about this one

thanks, libcrypt;
it's *close* but the "C" in Cadillac seems to flatten out at the top and bottom where in Zeppelin it's pretty curved. might work tho!

Yeah, well, the usual nerdy caveat to the "what font" question is that "it may not be a font", i.e., you's gots to whip out the Illustrator and touch it up y'self.

Not a question, but just an observation: I was yanking fonts out of Ubuntu in an effort to get a little better speed out of it -- font management does not exist in Linux, unsurprisingly -- and a vast majority of the real sludge, the bottom of the barrel tasteless offensive UGH fonts that came with the distro were by this popular fellow: http://www.larabiefonts.com/.

Bottom line here: Ray Larabie wants to taste the fucking curb.

I got 29/34.

I got 20/34, 44th place on the Hall of Fame.

A couple of scores on that hall of fame are doubles (8-9, 39-40), you're probably in 42nd place

25/34, not bad! #25 on the all-time list.

I doubt I'd admit my score to any normal person.

30/34. =9th on the hall of fame. Boom.

(All time list is reset every 24 hours, by the way)

^ derp

LOL @ "caek from ILX scored..."

29/34 though there was a lot of educated guesses.

I have to admit, that as a struggling designer/typophile, I've always been TERRIBLE at recognizing fonts.

I'm excited to start my metal type collection and just get a few sizes of a few basic fonts and use them for everything and deal with the limitations of having 10 fonts instead of 8,000.

Like, I just want Sabon and Univers and then some display faces.

22/34 but think i took test before and scored a bit higher :/

You people are pretty good! I educated-guessed my way thru most of the test. There's not a lot of fonts I can fill-in-the-blank ID.

Far right - it seems awfully familiar but I can't recall it.

Anyone know this one? I've tracked down something similar, but I don't think it's quite right.

http://cdn2.ioffer.com/img2/item/133/080/107/IB63.jpg

I'm pretty sure I've seen it before, will do a little bit of investigation!

James Gang is Kabel LTStd-Black, according to this: http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/forum/case/306469/

That was my first thought but I didn't remember the g looking like that, so I found:

http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/tilde/geometr-231/heavy/

However, it seems Kabels Gs are like that after all, doh!

Oh, and that's a copy of Kabel anyway!

Thanks! The similar font I found is Geometric231...can't remember if it was free or from actual font house, but I'm glad to know the real name.

Any idea what they're using for the "Gods of the Arena" line?

A lifelong favorite –– there is also a vet clinic in town w/a similar typeface for their logo (less stylized) that is just as beautiful. Any leads?

Could anyone help me to identify (and procure!) a font that is a close as to possible to the one used to write the "nwofhm" portion of this design, please?

Thanks very much! Kiitos!

what is this font that is being used by every electronic dance musician/DJ in the world right now?

The end credits to this awesome Giger documentary. I've seen it on old book covers too.

Morgan page is adapted from Avant Garde using some of the alternative glyphs.

Not that knowledgable about fantasy style fonts, but it does look very familiar, if it come to me I'll get back here.

It does look like the sort of display font ITC would have released, try looking through here:

http://www.myfonts.com/foundry/ITC/?view=list&sort=

http://www.identifont.com/samples/adobe/ArnoldBoecklin.gif

http://www.identifont.com/samples/adobe/ArnoldBoecklin.gif

regarding the Circle image up there, the "nwofhm " is rendered in a blackletter of some sort

What is that twee indie-folk font with the tall letters? I hate it.

That Arnold Boecklin font connotes '70s San Fran rock to me, sort of like Abraxas or Aoxomoxoa, but it's neither of those. I'm sure it's used on an album I own.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/A1sH1jTL1cL._SX355_.jpg

Great! I don't own that one though, I'm thinking much older.

yeah, that dinosaur logo always reminded me of some old wizard rock act that i could never quite put my finger on

there's this i guess:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fc/Listen_to_the_music.jpg

i'm sure you weren't thinking of this one...

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71rZTKNXDFL._SX355_.jpg

a few more...

Crazy it's none of those either. There's also this (may be hueg):

http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0244/6325/products/IMG_5147_WM_1024x1024.jpg?v=1393004749

oh good one! finally remembered this...

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41qZAfI6MdL.jpg

Maybe the San Fran connection in my mind is the Quicksilver logo, similar but not quite:

http://img.wax.fm/releases/2977543/quicksilver-messenger-service-quicksilver-messenger-service-2822816.gif

Another really obvious one i just remembered:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51OH2YRhmiL.jpg

^^^ ding ding ding we have a winner! Thank you!

So between Moody Blues, T. Rex and Al Stewart, not San Fran at all.

it's kind of an off-the-shelf wannabe san fran vibe though

Yeah it's a variant of 75% of all Dead logos.

this had been bugging me for hours, but I finally figured out who it is that uses a shitload of that font on a whole bunch of records...

Any clues on "Summer" and "berry?"

lol I was the last person to post in this thread, and I have no recollection of asking this or why.

Anyway, new question. I watched a low-budget film noir-esque film from 1960, "Get Outta Town!" and the opening production credits font was immediately familiar from many 60s sitcoms. It's at 42 seconds in here. Anyone know the name of it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja_VX6I4v5s

Dom Casual Bold. Usually seen in the closing credits of old TV shows (Beverly Hillbillies, Bewitched, etc).

http://legionfonts.com/fonts/dom-casual-lt-bold

Bingo! I sent it to a designer friend and he had just responded. Odd choice for a noir, yeah it immediately screamed "Mr. Ed!" although the film predates all the TV usages. Some connection to Filmways Productions, I'm guessing.

I recently was looking up some font stuff, posted about it on some thread, can’t remember which, okay found it: In every 70s US home ever

It never dawned on me before today that that font is emulating brush strokes, which is another reason it hits the same nostalgia button for me that old hand-painted grocery signs do.
