thanks stephen.
Nathan, the only thing I can think of
is that this is from Adam Roe (Solace or
Article 10)...but Adam was based in Los Angeles
and he moved to New York, I think.
His site is large/i'm on dialup today so I can't confirm
where he's at.
confounded : nice work

well, Adam's current site lists New York..
maybe he was in Chicago a long time ago?
Hal al Shedad had a release on Lunchbox.
mistrial or mis-trail.

Adam Roe's are nice, and Solace and Article 10 are quite close, but not yet it. To be honest, I don't even know the name of this font's designer - but it's not Roe.
Lunchbox isn't it either ;-)

I'm gonna be heading back to my Luddite hovel, sans web, in a few minutes. I once again apologize for any inconvenience. If you find the Hal al Shedad, you should listen to the mp3s. Darn good band. If you run across an mp3 for "Riding with Angels," let me know...
Cheers.

Guys, this is the last day I'm going to be online for about a week or so...so here's my last hint. Not so much a hint really.
You can get to this foundry if you go here.
28 Mar 2003 — 12:11pm
safety orange type foundry,
due north typeface.
28 Mar 2003 — 12:12pm
Due North from Safety Orange Typefaces, huh? Wowee, that was obscure.
Note if you check it out for yourself -- no online preview -- link goes straight to Mac TT download.
28 Mar 2003 — 12:15pm
I got Ominized! OK, Eduardo, perhaps you can give us something a tad less obscure.
28 Mar 2003 — 12:17pm
Eduardo wins!
>no online preview -- link goes straight to Mac TT download
That's why I had to change my image to the "E." There's a preview in the upper window when you mouse-over, but that's the only capital you see.
Take it away...

sure, cheshire. so here it is,
a more "classical" sample:
28 Mar 2003 — 12:55pm
But of course -- an old favorite, Caslon 540 Italic.
28 Mar 2003 — 1:10pm
oh, yeah. :-)
your turn, ches.
28 Mar 2003 — 2:28pm
OK, have at it:
28 Mar 2003 — 2:47pm
pretty darn close to Kauffman.

28 Mar 2003 — 2:50pm
Yeah, how close would you say, BJ?
Nice job. Your turn!
28 Mar 2003 — 3:28pm
Very few designers actually
use this font, but most
illustrators have it on disc.
28 Mar 2003 — 3:41pm
ITC Eras
28 Mar 2003 — 3:46pm
your turn, Adriano.
28 Mar 2003 — 4:01pm
Alright, here goes:
28 Mar 2003 — 4:14pm
Red Rooster Gargoyle Bold -- someday I have to get a license for that family.
28 Mar 2003 — 4:17pm
Correct!
I got it for free when I became a member of Veer.
28 Mar 2003 — 4:22pm
That's how I knew it, too -- but I only got the Medium weight. You got the whole family?
28 Mar 2003 — 4:37pm
Here you go:
28 Mar 2003 — 4:39pm
Oh, and for extra credit: name the band that used this typeface as a logo.
28 Mar 2003 — 4:41pm
Glaser Stencil
Have to think about the band
28 Mar 2003 — 4:50pm
I give up on the band. I think I recall seeing this on some album cover, but can't remember the name of the artist. Google isn't helping either ;-)
I only have Gargoyle RR Bold OSF... maybe when I get a job I'll buy the whole family.
28 Mar 2003 — 4:53pm
Well, you got the id, so the challenge is yours. As for the band, I'll say only "Vegemite."
28 Mar 2003 — 4:56pm
Heh, heh. Men at Work.
28 Mar 2003 — 4:58pm
Men at Work indeed. How I miss them some days.
28 Mar 2003 — 5:11pm
Gah! I knew it!
This one shouldn't be very hard...
