MS Office Forum / Word / Printing and Fonts / December 2006Can anyone identify this font?
The font used on the bookcover at 1400044731.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V57219386_.jpg is escaping me. The closest thing I can find is Huxley Vertical, which isn't quite right (and the version I have has no lowercase). Can anyone provide a clue?  SignatureSuzanne S.

It's not an exact match but Esselte Letraset's Mekanik is close.

It was for a poster I had to have by today, so I went ahead and used Huxley. It's not really important, and I suspect no one will really notice the difference. The poster will stay up only a brief time (it's for a weekly book review program), so it's not the end of the world. I just try to match the book cover font whenever possible. SignatureSuzanne S.

The [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] : : - Ch. Hi; That is certainly possible. However, the thought that is nagging at the back of my head is that I have seen that font somewhere before. There are a few others of similar inspiration. Anna is another but it is not a good match at all even although it has the same flavour. Ah well, it will probably hit me at 3 in the AM in several days. Tom It looks like a pretty good match to me, although I see what you're saying about the A (height of the crossbar). I would have been very well satisfied with that one (though not enough to buy it for a one-off use). At least it would have given me something to search on to find a free clone. Thanks to both of you. SignatureSuzanne S.

Tt is not condensed enough and many of thje majiscules are too "squared"-off. The majiscule A is interestring. No, was not thinking of Assembly buit I would not be surprised if there were a similar SSI/SSK font. Tom : Not even close.

Thanks to > both of you. Clones: the Southern Software (SSI and SSK) versions, allegedly cloned with FontMonger from Adobe originals, were/are named Assembly. Produced in regular, outline, light, and alternates. I don't know the legal status of their fonts. They're certainly no longer offered for sale anywhere, and I can't find more than a few on-line. - Character URW Timbre also looks quite a bit like it: http://www.fonts.com/findfonts/detail.htm?pid=412025 Or maybe a compressed, shaded version of Sol (by Image Club), though I've not found that on the web. Klaus Definitely URW Timbre, not Sol (... I just remembered the typical "E" and "S", but it looks very different). Klaus > URW Timbre also looks quite a bit like it: > http://www.fonts.com/findfonts/detail.htm?pid=412025 [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Klaus It does look pretty close, though the E in Timbre is rounder, not as much the rounded-rectangle look. In any case, when I needed it was a month ago! I make posters for the weekly book review programs; I do them the night before they're needed, so I don't have much lead time to search for fonts.
