People are still doing this?
I'm all for crustiness if it's actually screen printed or letterpressed. Otherwise, get it off my screen.

It's just some slab-serif in that case. You can probably mod Blackoad or similar into what you want. These guys have slabs out the wazoo: http://www.letterheadfonts.com/

I would bet its a modified version of Clarendon Bold Expanded.
like the Sony Logo.

Is it Volta? I don’t have any reference at hand.

Looks more like Volta to me
- huh, well - you're wrong.wetzel
- HAHAH I HAVE VOLTA YES I HAVE ITdigdre
- I am not 100% I know Clarendon looks a bit different but with 2 little modifications it would fit 100%moamoa
- hello!magnificent_ruin
- OKmagnificent_ruin
- magnificent_ruin0
- I’m back baby!MrOneHundred

Clarendon S
- ...has a sharp angle where the terminal joins.MrOneHundred
- the Clraendon S is much closer compared to Voltamoamoa
- mistermik0
moamoa wins - is it bedtime?
- magnificent_ruin0
- the white space between each letter seems to be to small....moamoa
- this is volta smaller and more spread out from myfontsmagnificent_ruin
- I have a deal. the S from clrendon and the rest from Volta. Hello?moamoa
- I thought someone wanted to to the same as the designer from the SONY logo did with the typefacemoamoa
- nevermind.... I am not sure.. of course at the first sight Volta fits moremoamoa
- he just wanted to know what swink wasmagnificent_ruin
- MrOneHundred0
There is another similar one which I don’t have access too at the moment... It’s not Barbara, which is a straight re-cut of Clarendon...
Anyway, I have them all. If anyone wants to evaluate the files, let me know in a day or two.
- would love to see themmagnificent_ruin
- Done! (when I am back at the studio). Of course you will have to delete them when you’re done!MrOneHundred
- of course!magnificent_ruin
- magnificent_ruin0
As mr100 said, clarendon S has a sharp angle at the terminal, "swink" is curved
- am I blind? the Volta S has a complete different curve propositions.. no?moamoa
- ohhh I hsould read my note before I click on the save buttonmoamoa
- It does. It’s a bit of a poser. If this thread is still going on monday, I will have a dig around.MrOneHundred
