Need help identifying this sweet c.1950 sans

14/10/2024 alle 18:55

Tough one, I fear.

Looking to conclusively identify the attached sans. Seen it used in *tons* of mid-century advertising – some notable features include:
* two-story a
* straight-sided M
* one-stroke 1
* no-tail t
* angle-cut C

Has some similarities to Metro, Futura, Spartan, Universe, Intervogue, Kabel, Twentieth Century, etc. — but they're not exact matches. I'd love help identifying the real foundry typeface (even if not digitized) and of course a very close modern digitization if one exists.

Thanks in advance, hive mind!

On fontid.co, Kevin Thompson nailed it down as Intertype Vogue. No exact digitization of this face is available -- closest current match is Intervogue, but there are significant differences. Oh, well!

Tempo from Ludlow is digitized, but at the same time it isn't as is mostly like a rought scan in one weight, it has the t without curve, but nothing else...

Nice, I knew about Stephenson Blake's "Vogue" but didn't know it was popular enough to be recreated by other foundries. I'll sent you a PM, I'm interested about this typographic era as well!
