...it isn't Bodoni. Well it isn't any of my versions of Bodoni.

Any help identifying this baby?

Also while I am at it, does anyone know what this is? I think Jack used it for his folio site.

*Edit, basically want the id of both of these, if that is not clear*

gotnousername · 21-08-2008, 15:42

Pretty please...

CharmingMan · 21-08-2008, 15:50

id head over to the typophile forums to get an answer on this.

Plenty of type nuts on there,

Didot? at least the first one...
Didotâ„¢ font family : MyFonts

the second one is somewhat like poster bodoni, but that K is unique

CharmingMan · 21-08-2008, 16:38

fail. similar but not the same, the clues are in the k and the r of the second image

spiral · 22-08-2008, 04:21

are you sure both are the same font? Didot is quite similar to the first sample, but judging by the serifs, it's 2 fonts

Mik · 22-08-2008, 04:50

close. I could replicate that with (second image)

Porchez Typofonderie [Fonts Typefaces] - Ambroise Pack

gotnousername · 22-08-2008, 05:16

Mmmm.

Fred I thought you would come up trumps...

The first is not Didot, already checked that out.

Might bowl down to typophile...

I have missed Fred's sunny disposition of late...

gotnousername · 22-08-2008, 07:17

Fair enough.

Anyway, Download Carousel Font Family - Linotype.com for the first.

Loverrrrrly.

p.s. How tall are you Fred/Mike?

sub · 22-08-2008, 07:30

Thanks for the update, Mitch.
'Tis a nice font indeedy.

gotnousername · 22-08-2008, 07:55

It excites me lots.

But the first one is ace. It is very much like lots of faces, bu it has a definate edge, a defined beuty from the contrasts of the strokes and the serifs are dead straight, unlike most others...

You can see it in context on Welcome to Frost Design - Vince Frost. Well worth a visit, just had an update with IMO great nav. (Ripped off Spins concept a little though)

CharmingMan · 22-08-2008, 08:02

the R and the K are sublime

love the curviness with the ball like finnials

Coops · 22-08-2008, 08:04

Yum. Where is it on the Frost site, Mitchy boy?

Personally, I'm not a fan of the site.

Pugsley · 22-08-2008, 08:07
