Hey Everybody,

Having some trouble identifying this typeface, the only character I have for reference is the period . . .

Thanks in advance for your help!

Stuart :D

Helvetica.

I don’t think it’s Helvetica; none of the Helvetica Neue periods look like perfect squares.

Obviously it’s been squooshed then.

first thought was Russell Square, but no.

looks like it might be pre-digital, possibly a photo lettering effort.

do you know the source?

I’m such an idiot. It’s not squooshed Helvetica, it’s squooshed Arial. How could I ever get those confused?

Thanks for indulging my attempt at an April Fools Day joke . . . I finally ID’d the font as Hand Lettered :D

Not nearly as clever as my Fontographer MX one that probably threw Ted Harrison into a tizzy but I’m already working on next years :D
