Mar 03, 2019 at 12:21  [reply]  Font for flyer

Excerpted from a higher resolution poster for the concert tour:

The drawn out lines are similar to fonts like Freie Initialen but AFAIK no retail matching font exists.
Presumably the tour organizers used a lettering artist to make the poster.

Suggested font: Freie Initialen

Author of Libero also created Winner. Plain -- no 3d effect -- with many widths and weights.
Check it and you should find a match, or very close approximation of the numbers, with corresponding alphabet.

Suggested font: Winner

The sports numbers from Italy 1990 are presumably pre-digital.
Given that they were used on T-shirts of the German team they are perhaps the source used by the creator of Libero, a German font maker.
The only noticeable design differences are the serifs on _4_ and _7_.
It would be interesting to find out who originally designed the letters.
Perhaps created in contact/press on format, a process used by Letraset and other font makers of the late pre-digital era.

Intertype's derivative of Futura, sold as Vogue, had the clipped tips on _A_, _N_ and _V_ as alternates.
It has recently been digitized as Intervogue.
Closest so far, except for the _G_.

Suggested font: Intervogue Alt Medium

So far have not found the metal type match to the sans serif.
However, it is obviously a variation of Futura Medium, available in various digital versions from major foundries
Note the clipped tips on _A_, _N_ and _V_ in this metal type.

Suggested font: Futura Medium

Found it.
Another derivative of Memphis.
Karnak Medium by Robert Hunter Middleton for Ludlow 1931.
Digitized by Steve Jackaman and Ashley Muir from the Ludlow drawings.

Identified font: Karnak Medium

Metal type, perhaps from Intertype -- a lower price competitor to Linotype.
The main title _GREEN BOOK_ is a derivative of Memphis designed by Rudolf Wolf at the Stempel foundry in Frankfurt, Germany in 1929.
Intertype's Cairo Bold is one of these derivative fonts. As you can see from the following Intertype specimen, all letters are close, except for _G_ which as a bottom serif, and the leg on _R_:

Intertype had many fonts and another one might be a match.
Very few Intertype fonts are available in digital form.



Agree Marion Bold is close.
Main difference is different style leg on _R_

Is this for a sports club? If so, do you know the team name?
Any other info on source of image would help to ID.

Feb 24, 2019 at 07:35  [reply]  What font is this?

Looks like a metal type era version of a Scotch Modern typeface.
AFAIK there is no exact digital match.
Escrow Text, bold or semi-bold, could be used as a substitute

Suggested font: Escrow

Princetown designed in 1981 for Esselte-Letraset is the earliest use of this style that I found.
p.s. Allstar is an identical clone of Princetown.

Suggested font: Princetown

AFAIK no exact match.
Allstar, already suggested, is close, but fill is too thick.
Jersey Letters is also close. Fill is about the right thickness.
Still looking.

Suggested font: Jersey Letters

One of the lighter weights. Stroke drop below baseline for _R_ and _A_ added by user.

Identified font: Agency
