hehehe.. no no no... i just couldn't think of a good subject line this morning. "name that font" just seemed to generic. i apologize for real. this message board rocks. i'm sorry i lurk more than post, but i'm not nearly as good at this as you guys.

eeeeek.. how's you guess? 8 years of catholic gradeschool... will you be my therapist?
12 Jun 2003 — 11:31pm
I know this is
12 Jun 2003 — 11:35pm
You would have to modify the uc and lc "C"
to make it look like your Commerce-image

will you be my therapist?
You don't need a therapist. You need a confessor.

Yves, you should set up a religious denomination ID board
You got Jason, just from a picture of a him and a gnome!!

how about - Beta sans remixed

13 Jun 2003 — 3:03pm
no way! nobody but me has that remix! oh, wait, i think peter bruhn has a copy too. and joshua distler, of course.
13 Jun 2003 — 3:05pm
But it is rounded in the italic remix. But the uc C doesn't fit. It's very close.
13 Jun 2003 — 3:06pm
"But it is rounded in the italic remix" The lc "e".

It's so close to Reykjavyk or Sophisto from Psy/Ops...

But it's not a match yet.

Hmmm... no "out of the box" ID, 'm sorry. It looks familiar
(just to be on the safe side)
though (it's not Apex Sans).
I'm extremely busy for the moment, but I'll get back to you
as soon as I can. Unless someone else finds it before that. ;)
About that subject line: are you making fun of us? Honestly?
Because, if you do, I guarantee we'll make your gnome suffer.
Big time. You'll wake up screaming for the rest of your life,
haunted by sickening sound of broken pottery and the horrible
death rattle of your shiny little friend. We take no $h!t from
gnome-lovers...

> i apologize for real.
Don't! It's all in your strict catholic upbringing, yaknow.
All this sin and guilt and nonsense. =D
Sorry, no match for your sample yet.

I know this font. I will find it.
13 Jun 2003 — 1:16pm
My thoughts exactly, Stewf. This is friggin' frustratin'.
I believe we're looking for a rather industrial drawing-
looking contemporary sans, rather rectangular, slightly
reminiscent of Isonorm, Faux-CRA, Foundry Monoline
and the likes. Stroke ends appear rounded, spurs on 'r'
and 'm' are quite pointy.
Places to look might be Lineto, Testpilot Collective, [T-26]...
What else?
Steve, it's all in the gnomes... =D
13 Jun 2003 — 2:35pm
Beta Sans is so close!
13 Jun 2003 — 2:39pm
The first thing I checked
13 Jun 2003 — 3:02pm
Beautiful... but too squarish. Furthermore, check the right-hand
corner of the bowl of the 'e': it should be rounded.

Hi Jason, we're not very good at this, are we?
In the meantime I managed to do a full run of the FontBook,
alas to no avail. Did anyone check any digital-only foundries,
so I don't double-check when I get to that?
