  What the FONT!

  

  : )

  I believe this is well known and am kicking myself as to its origins and YES I've used http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFo…...

  As always, all (ir)relevant responses appreciated...

  Much love from Northwestern Ontario, Canada...

  I could only give you a suggestion for an alternative which would be ITC Century Ultra

  • Thanks pressplay; 'tis a lovely alternative but accuracy is king in this case; it may be a trace of an now non-existant font as well (always fun)...– ideaist1/4

    ...well (always fun)!– ideaist2/4

    yeah, could very well be a trace, if you look at the somehow uneven curves, the funny "S"...– pressplay3/4

    Yeah; these are all issues I hoped to alleviate by finding it's origin! lol... Perhaps asking too much... : )...– ideaist4/4

  It seems (based on feedback from the myfonts.com forum) that it is a basterdized version of Bodoni Poster:

  Thoughts?

  • Just spoke to the client; turns out it was a custom font job where it appears they simply altered bodoni poster... ; )...– ideaist

  I was just about to say - judging by the odd curves on the S, I wouldn't've been surprised it wasn't a custom job.

  • too many double negatives in there, damnit.– detritus1/3

    "wouldn't've" is fairly amazing linguistic remix! : )– ideaist2/3

    Those odd s curves have been haunting my morning/early afternoon...– ideaist3/3

  Your best bet may be dafont.com in this case.

  ...Thanks all y'all!

  The client is able to provide the custom type form either as an .eps/.ai or .ttf/.otf so consider this "What The F***" case closed...

  that "2" probably comes from some contemporary "techno" orwhatnot font... hundreds of them for free on dafont or fontsqirrel or the likes
  http://www.fontsquirrel.com/font…
  http://www.dafont.com/pirulen.fo…
  a more standard/classic one that comes close could be eurostile bold extended

  • yea eurostile is close. probably a good fallback if i cant figure this out– deathboy

  • < eurostile– pressplay1/4

    yea its close. were the 2 loops back its a little straighter. but doubt too many people will notice... probably trace the 2 and use eurostile for titles– deathboy2/4

    and use eurostile for titles– deathboy3/4

    the 2 in the pic is italic...– sine4/4
