ID of Gill Sans-esque typeface

n the following page the phrase "Coffee of Character" is set. It looks like Gill Sans, but most stems end with a diagonal line, also the bottom of some characters go over the baseline:

There are more uses here:

The closest I got was London by A2 TYPE:
http://www.a2-type.co.uk/html/lo…, but the capitals on this typeface end on the line...

I've also found Bliss, which is again similar, but not the one...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Foundry Sans

I need to to buy this typeface. But I'm having real trouble finding a place that sells it!

David Quay made it, it's profiled on their site:
http://www.foundrytypes.co.uk/

But you can't buy it from the site. I'm going to send them an email. But was wondering if anyone else had this problem and if you found a place that sold it online?

I don't have a style, the project does...

A quote, by someone, well-respected.
It's driving me wild, can someone help me out?

"I don't have style, the project has a style of it's own..." I am not remembering it right, but it's along these lines.

Font ID please

Hello,

Any chance anyone could tell me what PERFORMER is in?

Also the GT, but I suspect that it is custom made.

E-Learning

Got a job doing some work for a education programme. Thought a bit of research might be good! Since I know nothing about education!

Has anyone read any good books on designing for e-learning? I'm looking though the books on Amazon, but their are few comments about the books.

Obviously this subject is very large. But I'm looking for a book about designing stuff for especially for e-learning.

Anyone read good book on it?
Or perhaps a good resource of the web?

Ah Thank you!

Font ID

Ello! Trying to identify a a font. Thought it would be easy as the 'e' is rotated and it has a diamond spot on the "i".

On the logo, the part that says Sunnyside:

Flushing the bog...

Just went to the loo to release some turd. Only to find someone left their poo in there and didn't flush!

I flushed the loo before using, but felt a little weird about sitting on it. The type of person you who left a poo in the bog, might of left dirty invisible things that I could catch!

Probably being OCD about the whole thing. But it's just a button! You just need to push it! Morning shit... ruined!!!

a or a?

Hello! I'm looking at the letter a!

Some fonts, like Century Gothic have a different symbol for an a than say Helvetica.

I've found that a 'Century Gothic' a is called single-storey.

Wondered if anyone knew what the other one is called?

Also some info on why there are two different forms would be good too. My Google searchs are baron!

Thanks

Identity Managment Product

Has anyone used this:
http://www.graphicbase.com

Found an ad for it in Creative Review this month, it looks alright... but not sure. It claims to help manage the identity design process. You get some software that isn't too expensive. If it helps then I'd like to know.

Cheers
