Help with Fonts

[lorbay]

Those of you that are good with printing fonts, can you tell me what font this is.?? I have gone through everything in Word and can't quite seem to match it.
I was told it was Papyrus but I think Perpetua is a lot closer.
Thanks.

Lin.

Can't really help...but it's definitely not Papyrus. Papyrus is what I use in my logo in my signature.

Lin,
The font is Calibri (Body)

On a more serious side, any chance of talking to the Centre (or their designer, if they credit the designer) and finding out there?

Yes I tried that route already and it's so old no one there knows anymore.

Not even close Les. But thanks for trying.

The first one is Calibri (body) anf the second one is Perpetua which is close but the straight peices on the T, E and F's are not the same.

The closest match I can get is Percival. It's the first one I've found where the right-hand crossbar of the letter T (and the smaller crossbar of the E and F) has an upturn instead of a serif. Still doesn't look exactly right, but maybe there is a version of it that's closer.

There are tools you can use, such as "What The Font" LINK and Identifont (which is how I got this far)

Try Baker Signet Regular. I'm 90% sure that's what it is.

Well done, Chris -- there are two versions (Adobe and Bitstream) that seem to have very slight differences, but they are both excellent matches for the sample. Just a touch of additional letterspacing and it'll look great.

Looks a lot like Andalus to me without bolding - [FONT=&quot]BC FOREST[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]DICOVERY CENTRE

[FONT=&quot]Edit:
Hmmm[FONT=&quot], when I paste[FONT=&quot]d it ito the quick reply window it ha[FONT=&quot]d the andalus font but changed [FONT=&quot]wh[FONT=&quot]en I p[FONT=&quot]osted. Going to advanced I see why, th[FONT=&quot]at fo[FONT=&quot]nt is not available on line. Looks like a perfect match in word th[FONT=&quot]ough.[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]

Sorry, not Sydney Serial. Key differences on the serifs of the E F and T.

Again -- the T is wrong.

Yep, I see that now, shame to the others look real close.

Yep, you're right.

I've been involved with typesetting systems for about 35 years now, and you have to believe me when I say it was a whole lot easier when there were only a handful of photo-type foundries (Linotype-Merganthaler, Monotype, Compugraphic, AM-Varityper, Itek, Autologic, Berthold, and perhaps a couple more.)

Now it seems like there are hundreds of new type foundries every year, and telling the faces apart is harder and harder.

On the plus side -- there are hundreds of beautiful new faces to choose from every month, there should never be a need to settle for something that doesn't work perfectly (if you have time enough to find it, of course!)

Thanks! :biggrin: I used FontEdge. It's really quite cool, and can even identify script fonts.
