Jan 01, 2016 at 01:13  [reply]  Jamnica Logo Font?

Pretty certain this is not a font, or at least not one offered to the public.
The Jamnica Logo looks like a re-imagining of Bodoni Italic as a connecting script.
Of all the many flavors of Bodoni, I find that the flow of Shore Bodoni is the closest to the Jamnica Logo

Suggested font: Shore Bodoni

Pretty certain the RENAULT logo was lettering not a font from the era.
However, it seems to share the design style of Impact, a font released in 1965.
Compare the RENAULT logo to Impact, edited to increase the space between the vertical strokes and the length of the arms on _E_, _L_ and _T_, with the thickness of the strokes unchanged. [Minor adjustments to the diagonal strokes on _A_ and _N_.]



Suggested font: Impact

Phatt Phreddy is the name Nick Curtis used for his font inspired by Koloss, which was originally designed by Jakob Erbar for Ludwig & Mayer in 1923.
There are also some pay versions including Koloss Bold

Suggested font: Koloss Bold

Edited:
When I made this comment the image for identification included only part of the present image, and did not show the repeating letters. See my comment on your other post.

Edited2:
And now your second post has disappeared.
My comment on it was to the effect that it looked hand lettered and that repeating letters _A_ and _N_ seem to show differences.


Original comment:
Ondine, redrawn in a narrower width

Nick Curtis based Shangri-La on an alphabet by Joseph Bertram Jowit published in the book _Modern Show Card Writing_ in 1922. Art Deco meets the exotic East



CG Gothic No. 4 is closer


Suggested font: Gothic No. 4



ALEX HIRSCH could perhaps have been hand-lettered.
You can get close with Folio Condensed Bold.
Folio was designed in 1957.

For the fun of it, an approximation using thickened Times Roman Regular by applying a parallel line to the strokes and stripping the serifs.


Dec 25, 2015 at 21:47  [reply]  ayuda!

Presumably Bangla MN, a Mac font.
Also be found in the the Latin Subset of several other MN Asian language fonts for Mac.
For PC you would have to make an approximation by stripping the serifs from Times Roman Bold.
For a closer approximation thicken Times Roman Regular by applying a parallel line to the strokes and strip the serifs.

Dec 25, 2015 at 12:31  [reply]  Looking for this font

I tried to limit my list to digital versions that I believe were made from pre-digital sources.
Based on my experience with various fonts made by some font-makers, I have some doubts that Vivian and various others are anything but clones of digital work done by other font-makers. Seems a loosing battle to discourage the use of these fonts.


Dec 25, 2015 at 05:17  [reply]  Looking for this font

Origially released as Pretorian by P.M. Shanks & Sons Ltd., The Patent Type Foundry, London circa 1900. Name may to have been to commemorate the Boer War.
Digital as Storybook by Unknown -- already suggested -- here at Dafont, Pretoria by Ascender Corp., Pretorian DT, by DTP Types, Pretoria Gross by Paulo W of Intellecta Design, Gans Rasgos Escritura by Iza W of Intellecta Design and others. Some have bonus swash tails, bonus fancy frames, hand tooled effects etc.

Agree


Dec 24, 2015 at 16:54  [reply]  Legalnie Nielegalni

Looks like lettering based on one of the simplified fraktur fonts of the early 1930s.
The closest might be Walter Hoehnisch's National Werkschrift of 1933-35


The vertical stroke on _L_ and the lhs of _N_ was originally angled at about 8 degrees to the vertical,



but the vertical version was also used.

I re-edited my earlier posts to consider Linotype/Adobe version of Bauer Bodoni Bold Cond. rather than the Bitstream version of Bauer Bodoni Bold Cond. and found almost no difference with the Linotype/Adobe version.
p.s. While re-editing my earlier posts I saw a new post from koeiekat which reached essentially the same conclusion.
