8 matchesI am looking for a free font similar to this one.
Has anyone got an idea? Thanks in advance for your help!
6 matchesI agree that your opinion.
In my way, i decide the font the first, depending on the project object and the media source (such as posters, book and web).
second, using type style finder (manual book), for deciding color and fonts psychology. It is just guidance for exploring my creativity. -- if the clients have corporate identity their self (including fonts) my job will be easy. But it will challenging my creativity too in the same time.
Third, Preparing the font result and any design components. I usually using one font and to restricting maximum three kind of fonts for each design project.
Fourth, it is very important .... Using your new treatment as the new way :-)
Good design to you
Warmest greeting
Best regards.
5 matchesHi, 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!

3 matchesSeriously - you had seen the typeface before.
On the cover of the book you used to copy it from.
Stop blabbing about how it's your original work. No, it's whomever designed the cover of that book's design - or whomever designed the type for the cover of the book.

2 matchesA book about Adrian Frutiger and his works has been printed by the Swiss Foundation Type and Typography in Bern, CH.
The book – as the Italian newspaper Il Sole 24Ore said – is out in three languages: English, French and German.
