This is how it works:
- A complete glyph is published in the Type ID Pop Quiz.
- Try to identify the typeface. To win, you need to name both the typeface and the weight.
- 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 complete 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.
If you think this is a little too difficult, maybe try the Entry Level Type ID Pop Quiz first. Too easy? Go to the Expert Level Type ID Pop Quiz.
Good luck everyone, and have fun. ;^)

Sorry Craig, you’re too late …
Shoot, gotta be quick around here!
4 Jan 2009 — 4:23am
Hmm, a little hint maybe?
The one I posted is not a letter S from an inline font.
6 Jan 2009 — 10:38am
Actually, I'm sure you all know this multi-weight, multi-language, sans serif typeface, although this is from its Alternate version (which is the only one I have – but judging by the PDF, it looks like this symbol doesn't differ from the regular version).
6 Jan 2009 — 11:37am
Is it a section mark?
6 Jan 2009 — 11:46am
You're §pot on, Craig. :)
20 Jan 2009 — 3:14pm
Hmm, this is what the S would look like (same font, same scale).
If anyone is still watching this, that is…

Fedra Sans Bold by Peter Biľak?
But is the version at Typotheque… the version at FontShop and MyFonts has a different §
That was very tricky!
25 Jan 2009 — 8:27am
Congrats Marcelo! That's 100% correct. (Actually I used Fedra Sans Alt Bold, as I don't have the non-Alt, but I'm pretty sure these particular glyphs are the same.)
And, I'm very sorry about the version problem. It didn't occur to me that there might be different "§" versions floating around… mea culpa. :-|
Anyway, yes, this is the Typotheque version.
You go! :-)
25 Jan 2009 — 6:46pm
Great! thanks, Nina.
Here we go:
Have fun!
2 Feb 2009 — 4:42pm
hmmm… it seems there's no one interested in the quizes anymore?
Anyway, here a little hint: The designer is a fellow latin american.
9 Feb 2009 — 8:56am
You might already have guessed it… This is not a ‘t’
9 Feb 2009 — 10:04am
A dagger then?
9 Feb 2009 — 3:31pm
yes, Craig, it's a † dagger from a very sweet font.
9 Feb 2009 — 3:39pm
That would be Ale Paul's Candy Script from Sudtipos!
9 Feb 2009 — 3:58pm
Yes it is! congratulations.
Your turn now.
9 Feb 2009 — 4:02pm
Here it is.
13 Feb 2009 — 10:10am
Hint: This font is as old as Clint Eastwood.
14 Feb 2009 — 9:44am
Or maybe even better: old as Der blaue Engel.
15 Feb 2009 — 9:38am
It is Kino, designed by Martin Dovey in 1930.
15 Feb 2009 — 12:27pm
You got it, barthak!
15 Feb 2009 — 1:07pm
Great!
Here's a new one:
19 Feb 2009 — 5:01am
This idiosyncratic italic is of French proportions, but its shapes take their cues from the Dutch style.
19 Feb 2009 — 5:10am
Absara Regular Italic?
19 Feb 2009 — 5:14am
Absolutely! Well done :)
19 Feb 2009 — 5:19am
Thanks! Now I have to come up with a quest…
19 Feb 2009 — 5:31am
Ok, here it is:
20 Feb 2009 — 12:57am
Tip: it’s not available anymore, the designer withdraw the typeface
24 Feb 2009 — 1:03am
hint: It was for sale at Garagefonts
11 Mar 2009 — 2:06am
…
Ok.
More glyphs:
Good luck! :)

A glyph from a (different) typeface designed by the same designer:
19 Mar 2009 — 5:30am
So the designer is Joshua Darden.
19 Mar 2009 — 12:21pm
Yes, you are right! One of the first designs he made was part of the collection of GarageFonts, but not any more. What was the name of that typeface?
He didn’t design it alone though…
Pieter
24 Mar 2009 — 1:30am
Hint 1: Joshua Darden designed the typeface in collaboration with Timothy Glaser.
Hint 2: Also a serif version was designed with the name (name typeface) Bookserif.
24 Mar 2009 — 5:09am
Index!
25 Mar 2009 — 5:37am
You got it! It’s you turn now.
25 Mar 2009 — 6:54am
Okay, here goes:
25 Mar 2009 — 8:55am
I know that one! :D
25 Mar 2009 — 9:16am
Yes you do, but somebody else must, too!
25 Mar 2009 — 10:39am
I do -- it's the inverted exclamation mark from Cochin! :^)
25 Mar 2009 — 10:54am
You got it - that was quick! You're up, barthak.
25 Mar 2009 — 12:47pm
Just good timing, been a while since I visited the forum. Nice challenge, btw.
Here's a new one:
27 Mar 2009 — 6:09am
It's not some obscure bitmap font, it's actually from a respectable Font Foundry.
31 Mar 2009 — 3:26pm
Oops, wrong thread. Sorry.
7 Jul 2009 — 10:32am
Is that a fleuron?
8 Jul 2009 — 6:08am
Not a fleuron, just a kapital letter.
Btw it's been so long that I've forgotten the name of this ffont myself! :P
28 Jul 2009 — 10:17am
>just a kapital letter.
From the roman alphabet?
28 Jul 2009 — 1:37pm
It is one of the three uppercase K alternates in Martin L’Allier’s modular blackletter typeface FF Karo Line.
29 Jul 2009 — 2:55am
Absolutely! Great, the quiz finally continues :)
29 Jul 2009 — 3:43am
Woohoo! Okay, the next one will be a tad easier:
Have fun!
29 Jul 2009 — 4:08am
Iowan Old Style Roman? If it is, this was too easy indeed.
