Aw, that was too easy now, wasn't it?
Take it, Karl.
8 Jan 2004 — 4:59pm
Here it is. I don't follow this quiz religiously, so I hope this has not been posted before. BTW, Your clue gave it away Adriano.

The man is on FIRE today!

Candice?

Sauna - Number 2
7 Jan 2004 — 5:24pm
no and no.
I think Mr. Sandler is just guessing sauna because he knows it is one of my favorites.
7 Jan 2004 — 5:27pm
I should add that stuart has the correct glyph: 2
7 Jan 2004 — 8:02pm
Foiled again . . . . :D
7 Jan 2004 — 10:58pm
Very close to
MVB Fantabular
8 Jan 2004 — 5:55pm
Nope. I'll post more tomorrow if need be.
8 Jan 2004 — 11:34am
The whole glyph:
8 Jan 2004 — 11:39am
bingo.
My favorite #2.
It's yours Tiff.
8 Jan 2004 — 5:09pm
I should have known it wouldn't be anything so easy as Franklin Gothic No. 2, but boy, that spur...
8 Jan 2004 — 5:21pm
Hoefler Knockout?
8 Jan 2004 — 5:32pm
Benton Sans?
9 Jan 2004 — 10:01pm
Griffith Gothic Ultra Normal???
10 Jan 2004 — 9:42pm
Okie dokie, here it is.
11 Jan 2004 — 8:36am
he he..
i think it looks like a bra from the 1950's
is it the letter "w" ?
11 Jan 2004 — 8:52am
Not a shirt or a bra..oh and not a "w" either.
11 Jan 2004 — 9:51am
Okay, here's another view, same glyph.
11 Jan 2004 — 10:50am
I always thought that the foundry that created this was based in Europe, but it's actually based here in California.
11 Jan 2004 — 8:21pm
oops
11 Jan 2004 — 8:21pm
No takers???
Here's a different glyph...
11 Jan 2004 — 8:52pm
Same font?
11 Jan 2004 — 8:58pm
yup, same font, different glyph.
11 Jan 2004 — 9:25pm
VARIEX! from Emigre
11 Jan 2004 — 9:28pm
You nailed it BJ! The first glyph is the @ and the second is the "B". Take it away BJ.
11 Jan 2004 — 9:30pm
Okay snoop, I'll come up with one in about an hour or so.
11 Jan 2004 — 9:57pm
an easy one perhaps ...
11 Jan 2004 — 10:20pm
Wow BJ, it's so big! ;-)
I'll take a wild guess..."n" from Eurostile Black Extended?
11 Jan 2004 — 10:26pm
good guess but no. What you see is the glyph ending,
so it's a lowercase r. I was not trying to fool ya with the crop.
Sorry about the XL image...
btw, the typeface is more common than Eurostile.
12 Jan 2004 — 1:09am
Taking some inspiration from the critique threads maybe?
Chicago lowercase r.
12 Jan 2004 — 1:15am
correct, good job ...
I wanted to find an unusual glyph nested in an Apple
System Font but didn't get very far.
And yeah, I was thinking bitmap because Susan Kare
is distributed thru Atomic.
your go ...
12 Jan 2004 — 1:31am
Hot damn. I wouldn't have come up with that if I didn't have Chicago on the brain the last few days, both from Miguel Hernandez's brilliant take on the ugly beast and from its use on the iPod classic, which has been replaced on the iPod mini with Espy Sans.
12 Jan 2004 — 5:11am
RR Pall Mall?
12 Jan 2004 — 3:02pm
Nope. Not RR Pall Mall. Another Glyph:
Thought this font has been around for a decade, I hadn't seen it prominently used (or should I say creatively misused) until this past year.
12 Jan 2004 — 3:06pm
Rosewood fill?
12 Jan 2004 — 3:41pm
> Rosewood fill?
Precisely! It's been impossible not to spot it if you've tripped into a Starbucks this past holiday season, and I've found it in Levis in-store displays as well. Was my clue too helpful?
You're up Chesh. Sorry Tiffany, one minute too late!
15 Jan 2004 — 9:39pm
Chesh, happy birthday and all that, but you're neglecting your duties here. Repair forthwith, please.
16 Jan 2004 — 12:09am
Well, that explains why I haven't seen any new messages from this thread in a while! Must be getting senile in my old age. My apologies -- here's the next:
16 Jan 2004 — 12:12am
the X from Xylo?
16 Jan 2004 — 1:12am
Close! Correct glyph, wrong typeface.
22 Jan 2004 — 10:24am
x from helvetica?
Ok. Ok. Just bumping the thread back up to the top. If you're all trying to coax me into giving away a hasty display font, forget it :-) Quizmasters, what up?
22 Jan 2004 — 10:30am
BJ was so close, I thought he was going to get it soon after his last try. Here's a hint: Xylo looks very much like the typeface in question, but Xylo has 26 things the typeface in question doesn't have.
22 Jan 2004 — 10:43am
Ashley Crawford?
22 Jan 2004 — 10:45am
I'm still sulking from not nailing a 3-minute Pop Quiz ID. ;)
22 Jan 2004 — 11:09am
Sorry, BJ, but you're about to get another chance at a 3-minute ID, cuz...
GRANT'S THE WINNAH!
Actually, the typeface I had used was Xavier Black, but because it turns out that Xavier Black is an exact copy of Ashley Crawford (does Linotype hold the original rights to the face?), Grant is ubercorrect. Take it away!
