>>> Type ID Pop Quiz V2.4 - Expert Level
This is how it works:
- A portion of a glyph is published in the Type ID Pop Quiz.
- Try to identify the glyph and the typeface. To win, you need to name at least:
- typeface
- weight
- character/glyph
- Show off your knowledge by casually mentioning additional trivia, like who designed it, when and by whom was it (first) published, and other cool stuff to impress your fellow Typophiles with.
- The winner produces a new challenge — a portion of a glyph, black on white background, presented in a 288 x 288 pixel square, including a R204G000B00 1 pixel border.
- The person who posts a challenge can’t win the next game.
In case of any disputes, I will act as judge, jury and avenging angel of wrath.
If you think this is a little too difficult, maybe try the Entry Level Type ID Pop Quiz or Intermediary Level Type ID Pop Quiz first.
Good luck everyone, and have fun. ;^)

There are some hints in the previous part of this thread and here is another one that will make the ID pretty easy: Another font of this designer, an awarded font, was used in the Intermediate Level Type Quiz.

Come on now it’s Kinesis by Mark Jamra for Adobe. The Italic g.

Oh yes! it’s Kinesis Italic by Mark Jamra.
Your turn Carl!

And, especially for Jan (the only one who got into my intricate hint):
The other typeface by Mark Jamra is Tacitus, named after the secretary of emperor Trajan. :—)

ok here:

Hello Carl,
is it the lowercase g from Cyrus Highsmith’s Prensa?
F
29.Jul.2008 10.34am
Yeeeess... Which weight?
29.Jul.2008 11.29am
Mmmmh, I’d say rather the Light.
31.Jul.2008 10.56pm
Yes, correct! Your turn. Sorry to delay so long, I’ve been busy.

¡Olé!
What delay? Most of the time the X-Level is a slow-moving beast.
Here’s the next challenge:

No takers?
Okay, here’s the first hint: This typeface is by a female type designer. Alas, the linked thread won’t help you: so far, her name hasn’t been mentioned on Typophile (but it has been on Typographica).
Another cropping, same scale:

Another ’g’?...

Yes, it’s another lowercase g indeed.

Hi Florian,
Is it the ‘g’ of Scriptuale Light designed by Renate Weise?
13.Aug.2008 12.03am
Perfect answer, Akira!
It’s your turn.
13.Aug.2008 12.38am
Thank you! :)
Here’s the next one:

Hint:
It’s a ligature.
16.Aug.2008 8.42am
It looks like an “fi” ligature.
16.Aug.2008 10.59pm
No, it’s not an “fi” ligature.

‘gi’?
20.Aug.2008 6.06pm
Hi Marcelo,
No, it’s not a ‘gi’ ligature. But you’re close.
20.Aug.2008 8.12pm
’gj’ ?
- Lex
20.Aug.2008 8.44pm
Hi Lex,
Yes, it’s a ‘gj’ ligature.

I’m sorry. I took a trip, so I’ve not been on-line.
