Well, Jeez, I'm going to have to make this just a little more difficult for you. So I'll say this: the answer to one of the questions is yes, and the answer to the other is no. But I'm not saying which question is answered which way.
Ha!
(That'll only extend my reign by about ten seconds, I imagine. BUT IT'S WORTH IT!)
I think bj got it right, it's Psy/Ops Crash Numbering, the bottom of the 2 over the top of the 3. Like in a misaligned rubber-stamp-numbering-machine, or whatever its real name is.
I think you got it right the first time, bj. It's Psy/Ops Crash Numbering, the bottom of the 2 over the top of the 3. Like in a misaligned rubber-stamp-numbering-machine, or whatever its real name is.
While the answer to Question 2 is yes, the answer to Question 1 is no, because, as Jesus pointed out, it's the alternate 2, which shows the top of the 3.

oops. I meant to say, I wouldn't rule
out Adobe.

Romic?
27 Jun 2003 — 10:32am
Indeed, Romic Light, a face with
plenty of artful dints.
your turn!
27 Jun 2003 — 10:39am
Blasst!!!!
27 Jun 2003 — 10:45am
Finally! OK, here's one:
I dearly hope this one isn't too easy for y'all.
27 Jun 2003 — 11:16am
Two questions: Is that the top and bottom
of a number 2.
Crash Numbering from RXC?

You have me in a pickle.
27 Jun 2003 — 11:38am
Oh, OK. No on #1, yes on #2.
27 Jun 2003 — 11:56am
Is it Aspect from Tankard?
27 Jun 2003 — 11:56am

Is it DTL Romulus?
27 Jun 2003 — 12:01pm
sorry for the double post, my machine is acting weird today...
27 Jun 2003 — 12:10pm
That is the correct answer, Jesus.
BJ asked two questions:
1. Is it the top & bottom of the 2?
2. Is it Crash Numbering from RXC?
While the answer to Question 2 is yes, the answer to Question 1 is no, because, as Jesus pointed out, it's the alternate 2, which shows the top of the 3.
So on a technicality, I think Jesus wins it.
Sorry, BJ!
27 Jun 2003 — 12:15pm
I'll defer to the Founder of the Thread.
Your turn Jesus.
Guessing Romulus and Aspect was simply personal
amusement. Brioso?
I was too lazy to go back to psyops.
It's Friday!
27 Jun 2003 — 12:18pm
Am I sneaky, or what?
he, he, he (evil sounding laughter)
In all fairness I think bj deserves the credit. I would have
never thought of Crash Numbering. Please, bj, go ahead
and post the next challenge.
27 Jun 2003 — 12:30pm
no really Jesus. I'm eager to see what you
come up with. My cupboard is bare.
Plus, it's because of Chesh that we have
such amusement and he made the ruling.

27 Jun 2003 — 12:35pm
All right, then, give me a few minutes and I'll post something.
Thanks, bj.
27 Jun 2003 — 1:07pm
Here it is, guys.

27 Jun 2003 — 3:47pm
It is a Galliard-esque "G"...
27 Jun 2003 — 4:07pm
Galliard-esque indeed...
27 Jun 2003 — 4:16pm
...but with paprika flavor.
27 Jun 2003 — 5:25pm
A little more detail.

30 Jun 2003 — 9:52am
A whole weekend and still nobody? c'mon guys!!
Another hint, it is a custom typeface, but a very publicized one,
produced by a big player in the editorial type business.
30 Jun 2003 — 10:02am
Is it by Mattew Carter?
30 Jun 2003 — 10:32am
Sorry, Nicolai, not by Carter.
30 Jun 2003 — 10:52am
FB?
30 Jun 2003 — 10:59am
Eduardo is right on the money. Now, just name the typeface.
