Kavaler Kursive works for me as a free version of Mandate. Mike Allard has a good reputation as an original fontmaker.

Although Dieter Steffmann's fonts are still offered at Dafont, a close examination of many of them has disclosed that they are rips of digital creations by other font makers
Many years ago he disclosed that he took digital fonts and "improved" them by extending the character set to include accented characters, etc.

Oct 04, 2016 at 11:41  [reply]  Pink Panther font?

EDITED
The original PINK PANTHER title was hand lettered during the 1960s in a bouncy or jumpy headline style using Latin [triangular] style serifs.
The image is the title version used for the recent Steve Martin remake of the movie. Similar but with noticeable differences such as the leg on the _R_. Still looks hand lettered.
A phototypesetting font from the 1960s, called Animated Latin -- NOT THE FONT -- is representative of the style. Patrick Broderick digitized it as Potrzebie -- NOT THE FONT -- in 1997. The only legitimate download is at the Rotodesign 1999 cached page. See link below.
More info on Potrzebie at Fonts in use:

Suggested font: Potrzebie

So much for my suspicions


Oct 03, 2016 at 17:13  [reply]  Lords Font?

EDITED:
I have not found a chamfered font, including Jersey M54, that is not significantly wider than the LORDS letters.
I suspect that this is custom lettering.

Oct 03, 2016 at 08:53  [reply]  Please name this font

The main title of the movie uses letters that resemble this poster.
If you look at the opening credits that follow you can see the same notching effect.
The credits are an edited version of a heavy Windsor.
The letters in _BLAZING SADDLES_ have rounded tips similar to Windsor but do not otherwise match Windsor.
I suggest that this is NOT A FONT.

Previously the Dinky Toys logo used a sloped Clarendon.
Clarendon is still used in the words _CLASSIC COLLECTION_.
I suspect this version of the logo is an edited version of a sloped Clarendon.
Note how letter weights and proportions are close to Superclarendon Bold Italic -- NOT THE FONT



Oct 03, 2016 at 07:44  [reply]  This Is How We Do font

An old design available from various foundries

Identified font: Latin Wide



Same thing happened to a person who made fonts based on lettering used by sports teams. IIRC his fontmaking name was "conman" or something like that. Anyway, the fonts seem to have been fully erased from the Internet.
When deep pocket companies vigorously expand the coverage of IP rights, there not much an individual can do in response.
Such is life...

Neuzeit Grotesk Black -- NOT THE FONT -- could serve as a substitute.
More letters on the group's other album covers

32°C: Looks like Maszynista Shadow

Suggested font: Maszynista Shadow


Oct 02, 2016 at 10:55  [reply]  "Jakarta" font please?

JAKARTA: Profil, a shadowed outline Clarendon from the Photo-Lettering era designed by Eugen and Max Lenz for Edouard Hoffmann (founder of Haas Typefoundry in the 1950s) 1n 1946.

No digital under the name Profil because a font of another design by Linotype is currently assigned the name Profile

Oct 02, 2016 at 08:18  [reply]  What's the font?

I did not find a match to this modern blackletter logo or find more letters in this exact style. Some similarity to simplified blackletters of the 1930s and 1930s such as Fanfare.

Perhaps you might ask the the pharmacist, Frau Sema Dehmer, if she has any information about the logo for the pharmacy.
