Type ID Pop Quiz V2.0.1

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.
Good luck everyone, and have fun. ;^)
With respectful thanks to the originator of this utterly useless but highly entertaining waste of time, the often imitated but never duplicated Cheshire Dave.

I'm going to occasionally reboot the Type ID Pop Quiz thread as it tends to become unwieldy after a while. Here's the new challenge. Have fun.

ohohoh lowercase k
6 Dec 2005 — 2:44pm
No!? You think so? Really!? :^D
6 Dec 2005 — 4:56pm
lowercase h?
6 Dec 2005 — 4:58pm
7 Dec 2005 — 6:40am
Oops, in my efforts to try to be funny I was misleading everyone -- this is indeed a lowercase 'k'. Sorry for creating the confusion.
7 Dec 2005 — 6:41am
BTW Nice facial remix Josh. :^)
7 Dec 2005 — 6:59am
YEH! The Type ID Pop Quiz is finally back again.
I'm ready for the ramble. ß ^ j
7 Dec 2005 — 7:09am
It's an italic k?
7 Dec 2005 — 7:36am
Nope.
7 Dec 2005 — 10:39am
I know it is offered at Veer. I can smell it.
7 Dec 2005 — 10:51am
Although the fact that you've been working on the next FontBook leads me to pause.
7 Dec 2005 — 1:18pm
This has nothing to do with me working on the FontBook. :^D Besides, Stewf did Serif ; I did Sans, Slab and Blackletter.
7 Dec 2005 — 1:22pm
But you don't deny the Veer connection. Interesting.
7 Dec 2005 — 3:01pm
As much as I don't want a hint, I think we need one. I can see the rest of the character ... d'oh! Yves!
7 Dec 2005 — 3:10pm
A hint? Already? Want me to shed some light?
7 Dec 2005 — 3:11pm
BTW I must say your nose is misleading you unfortunately. ;^)
7 Dec 2005 — 3:21pm
Gah! I looked at Stefan's site first and didn't see anything. I tried Psyops and got lazy. Just tried again. Luminance Normal by Stefan Hattenbach!
8 Dec 2005 — 1:26am
Was the "Want me to shed some light' so obvious? :^/ ;^)
Your turn.
8 Dec 2005 — 5:03am
Ahhhhh! Good one Yves |:^j
Congratulations Miss Tiffany

New rule -- you can't win two times in a row (I'd like to avoid these "games of ping pong" where basically just two people play).
Also, try not to make it too hard. It can be a challenge, but a tiny fragment of a curve is a bit over the top.
8 Dec 2005 — 11:35am
The biggest clue was that it was you, Yves, posting the image. I know you have a love of his work. I'll post an image soon.
8 Dec 2005 — 1:26pm
Alrighty Then ...
8 Dec 2005 — 1:30pm
A “y” or a “p” lower case.
8 Dec 2005 — 3:29pm
Which one?
8 Dec 2005 — 4:02pm
lc y
8 Dec 2005 — 5:09pm
Might also be a lower case v but I think it's a lc y.
Jubilee RR is close but it's not him.
8 Dec 2005 — 5:37pm
Italic lowercase y ?
(looks like something that Storm would do... but I'm too lazy to check it right now :^/)
8 Dec 2005 — 8:07pm
You can't ask, you must tell ... :^P ... yes, it is a lowercase y
9 Dec 2005 — 2:04am
pff... whatever! :^P
9 Dec 2005 — 10:36am
Need another clue?
9 Dec 2005 — 11:41am
For me, yes : ^ [
9 Dec 2005 — 11:47am
9 Dec 2005 — 12:18pm
Amazing clue!
9 Dec 2005 — 12:59pm
:^D although you might think this typeface is just another sheep following a trend, you might be sorely mistaken.
10 Dec 2005 — 11:19am
Hmmmm, tough one... (I can't contend anyways, as I posted the last challenge).
10 Dec 2005 — 3:22pm
Miss Tiffany has always good challenge :^)
10 Dec 2005 — 4:19pm
This type designer's face(s) perpetually surround us.
10 Dec 2005 — 5:22pm
ITC Golden Cockerel Italic by Eric Gill
10 Dec 2005 — 8:28pm
Excellent, Mr. Harvey. Did my clues help at all? =^D Your turn.
10 Dec 2005 — 10:52pm
Tiff, if I had checked the thread yesterday, 'sheep' and 'sorely' would have stood out as clues pointing to Mr. Gill. (i'm guessing the second word was inadvertent, ;) )
But Perpetua-lly is what I saw first.
here is the next one ... it might be a quick one considering the source.
(well if anyone wants to admit surfing Typophile on a Saturday night, hehe)
good luck.
11 Dec 2005 — 12:18am
Uppercase Q?
11 Dec 2005 — 12:36am

11 Dec 2005 — 1:10am
Peter Bruhn's Eric sans.

Yes. Nice job Forrest. :)
11 Dec 2005 — 1:24am
thank you. I'll post a new challenge soon.
11 Dec 2005 — 1:57am
enjoy.
11 Dec 2005 — 5:51am
Seems to be a caps “B”
11 Dec 2005 — 8:29am
Tenebra capital B
11 Dec 2005 — 10:05am
