And now, for the mystery ones. (The lead photo on this entry is also an unknown.) Remember, if you recognize one of these, by all means, let me know. Let’s complete the task — together.
Stephen says this is Helvetica bold, and I think he’s right. But there’s definitely a horizontal stretch on it, probably about 120 percent or so.
(Both the script font and the serif are mysteries to me.) Jake thinks the script is Coronet. Looks close enough for government work to me.
Stephen seems to think this is Gadget, but with a modified “Q”. I’m inclined to agree. Good show, Stephen.
Oh, and thanks for stopping by.
That WhatTheFont site is stupidly cool. I’ve used Identifont (http://www.identifont.com/) before to identify unknown typefaces, but it only works if you have more characters to work with. If you can get more screen shots that use those same typefaces, you *might* be able to identify it with Identifont. That will certainly be tricky with some of the screen grabs that only have a few characters (though I know I’ve seen the characters in that “Vol. 2″ screenshot before — I’ll have to look in my collection here).
“Our feature presentation” is about as simple as they come: Helvetica bold.
I’m fairly sure that “a film by Quentin Tarantino” is Gadget, although they seem to have modified the “Q” slightly.
That’s about all I have time for tonight.
That Vol. 2 looks a lot like Franklin Gothic Heavy with a modified 2 (as I can’t find that two in any typeface I have on my desktop). That’s about as close as I got, as the rest of my sans typefaces I have here have a wider inner circle in the “o”, have a round period, or have a perfectly symetrical (sp?) “V”, and the Franklin “V” is weighted a bit on the left more. Obviously the font size is different per character, but it looks pretty dang close to me.
The script typeface looks like Coronet, based on playing with Identifont’s new feature where you can tell it what characters you have to work with.
I couldn’t figure out the serif typeface for the life of me, however.
This has been fun :-)
i’m jealous of your font knowledge.
The font in “Our feature presentation” closely resembles Helvetica, but look at the “R” and “S” — they don’t match a bit.
