To ease up on requesting the peeps here at NT, how would I categorize that font? Spike serif? I am new to the type game. I have been putting it off for years, now I am like the website, addicted to type...
How do you, johndiggity, search for fonts? do you have a plethora of exp. and know fonts, or do you have a way of searching for them?
any help would be dandy!

i just try to remember them. the more often you go through suitcase looking for type, the easier it gets.

Classification: "wedge serif" or "latin"

This, btw, is likely not a font. It was designed almost 100 years ago. Matrix is similar, as are the following:
Latin Bold

WOW! Thank you typographica! I am never ceased-to-be amazed with your working knowledge of fonts. I don't want to come off as a kiss up, but shit man/woman, you have helped soooo many people. Thanks!
In gratitude,
Jay

I've never been called shit man/woman, but I like it.

there should've been a coma between both but and shit, and shit and man:
"but, shit, man/woman" like, "but shit, man" - just wanting to be non-gender specific and hip.
but thanks for taking it well anyway. peace.
