 you should post a picture with the Escalido font on it so people are more eager to help you ;)

 I saw this on the cover of a book at a store, and I'm eager to know what the font name is. Much help would be appreciated, thanks.

Thanx mouse, but that D3 Pipism font doesn't impress me much! :(
The "forum" text looks like in Phantom (in lowercase chars)!
I am looking for a similar font, so if you come across one, let me know. But I'm not as eager to know about this one now than when I posted it! :)

Found it at the makers site. Info is in the pict and I thought you would be eager enough to find out. The font is still in the making and will be released in September.

You did not really do your search first, did you Gary? Or weren't you eager enough?

Uwe, the character map can be publicly viewed but is NOT in the public domain. It is only showing (part of) the content of the font-file and thus copyrighted. Adobe considers what you suggest theft of intellectual property. Their property. And they do not tend to have a friendly approach to thieves of their property. So, unless you are eager to confront the Adobe Gray Suits - who have yet to loose a case - you'd better not.

what kkat meant (if I'm not wrong) is that these types of things shouldn't be made into fonts, or at least that's my belief. If you're so eager to give out people something like this, okay - make it an EPS or AI file or even SVG. But when you say that computer are capable of opening large font files - trust me, I rarely have seen a font that exceeds 500kbytes in size. Not to mention that with so many stray points and open curves if someone decides to leave the fonts embedded in a document before submitting to a service bureau that will definitely end in postscript error on the typesetter. I know - you want a sharp looking destroyed typeface, but the reality is that you have to sacrifice detail in sake of usability. People like us won't have problem using your font - if wan to use it I have other ways besides installing the font.Plus I wouldn't use it for anything longer than a single word or sentence. But the problem is that many people out there would try this in their MS Word and that will be a disaster, my friend.
As for kkat - he just doesn't like destroyed/grunge/trash typography - simply put :)

Hi, I'm a newbie here, but I've been dabbling in typography and font design on my own for a few years now. I have discovered a style of ornamental capital which I'm eager to find as a font. I'm not sure if it is really a font, though. It might just be fancy customised lettering.
I found these capitals in a book called "Angels: An Endangered Species". I was actually more impressed by these capitals than by the content of the book. I just stumbled on this site, and there seem to be more than a few folks here who really know their fonts :)
Okay, a little more detail on this: I've searched through the text, and these ornate caps are reserved for chapter openings (as they should be), so there are few of them. I was only able to spot these 4 letters (some are used more than once at various places).
Any ideas on this one? The engraved look of the detail makes me think that it's probably custom lettering, but with font design as intricate as it is these days, I figured even for a book that's been around since 1990, that there might be such a font. Oh, and one more thing: the typesetting of the text was done by someone in Florence, italy by the name of Simonetta Castelli. I know, it's a long shot, but I can't find anything but pages in Italian on her (hmm ... wonder why?? ;) Thanks in advance for helping!

For the record, Benguiat Book, also known as Bankok (a Corel clone), is really the Souvenir by Morris Fuller Benton (1914) (cloned as the Southern by Corel). In the '70's the Benguiat was ITCâ??ized (mainly the lower case) by Benguiat and additional weights were added. The Souvenir, being designed 90 years ago is now free of copyright and can be found in many places as a free font. For example http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fonts/s/
Both Souvenir and Benguiat are part of the font collection that came with Corel Draw 4. The Corel Benguiat clone Bankok.ttf can be googled with ease. So, I'd say opt for the Bankok.
Still eager for the Benguiat? I thought most everybody had it as it came with so many Windows programs. So, also easy to find. The American Library Association comes to the rescue. Google tells us:
ASCLA Web Program Officer Page
... Fonts used to create this Web site are Benguiat Book and Arial, which are assumed to be default-installed in most Windows applications. ...
http://archive.ala.org/ascla/ascla_wpo.html - 8k - Cached - Similar pages
At the bottom you'll find this:
Fonts used to create this Web site are Benguiat Book and Arial, which are assumed to be default-installed in most Windows applications. They can be downloaded by clicking on this link [FONTS] . You must then use an archival program (like WinZip) to decompress the files and then install them on your system.
As to be expected the link contains a zip with the Arial and the Benguiat.
