I know I've seen but just can't remember the name. Help a guy out and tell me the font name.
Which guy needs help? :laugh:
Sorry, don't recognize it.
Sorry man, don't recognize it.
Looks kind of like Desdemona (except the C isn't right), or Dyer (except the C isn't right)

I think some of it is custom. It looks like it contains attributes from other fonts. The hardest thing is to decipher which characters are uppercase and which are lower. I spread Joe's file out and ran some identifiers on it, nothing 100% came up. Like I said, it looks like about 4 different fonts merged together to make that.

It could be. I tried whatthefont.com but nothing came back close. And all I have is that crappy low res image and of course I need it to be larger and pristine.

I'm sorry Joe. I would offer to redraw it for you, but I have too much on my plate right now. I am really behind on a couple things, and it keeps coming in, so I get farther behind. Is anyone else slammed at work? It is crazy busy up in here.
Yeah, can't you just Photoshop it? I bet someone else here knows some good tricks you could use!

Joe, I just ran your pic on Graphic Design Forum. Also when letters are connected whatthefon will have issues translating the graphic and most times will not have no answers at all. What you could attempt to do is separate the letters in photoshop and resubmit.

No problem. I'm going to see if they have the font or a high res version of their logo and if not give them choice of something as close as I can find or go with the craptacular image they gave me.

Here's a font that is close. If you have this font maybe you can manipulate it in Illy to match. CHI-TOWN.TTF

Never reveal your sources. Nice job anyway.
I think I just read yesterday that if you follow @font_id on twitter, and you send him a pic, he'll identify the font for you. Haven't tried it yet, so can't vouch for it.
Famous Fonts website has lots from TV shows, bands, movies etc

Truthfully I'd just a soon not have any "help" so the request to check out the web site was not a problem.
Well, I don't know all the semantics of the job, so I'm sure you have your reasons. I just think it's absurd she can't do what she should have done to begin with, then expect you to do the leg work.

Seriously, think about it. Don't we do enough already? Now we have to physically hunt for fonts on websites? It's one thing to do this on your own to save time and red-tape, but for the customer to ask you to do this, is just absurd. You MFers get on me about finger-fucking native jobs, but you are willing to play Dan McGarret on fonts? :laugh:
Joe, that free font site, you wouldn't happen to know if "Classic Roman" caps or regular or both" is a free download?
I'm with Joe on this one. If I'm directed to a site to find files or whatever, I'd rather do it myself.
Most of our customers can barely send an email attachment.

I don't look at it that way. I get paid by the hour, and my customers get charged for my time. If they're willing to pay me for the simple task of finding and downloading a font, who am I to object? Beats the hell out of a lot of other things I'm tasked with doing.

I don't see it listed there but here is the URL: FREE ARTS & CRAFTS STYLE FONTS - For both Mac & PC! (http://www.jmurphyjr.com/freefonts.html)
I guess I am not understanding this. You're telling me, a customer sets up a job with this font, doesn't send it, so you would rather go on a wild goose chase then just get the bitch to send it to you? Furthermore, you are in contact with her, because she told you where to find it. I just don't see how this is better. The next job she's going to send a text file with URLs to get her fonts, and that's okay too, right? We are Prepress, have some dignity. Just because our profession is dwindling doesn't mean you have to start physically eating shit for a living.

Well in this case it isn't for prepress. It is for web development.
And I've spent my whole prepress life chasing down fonts for customers because if you ask them for them they say, "where can I find it"? and "how do I send it" and if they do send it they don't compress it and it gets to me a zero kb file. I found over the years it's less aggravating and easier to go find it myself if at all possible. And if it isn't I change it to something similar. Fonts are the main reason I despise native files. Customers are too stupid to properly package everything and send it correctly. And like youston said, I'm getting paid for it so if I want it done right I do it myself.

SO this particular graphic was something she requested you "create," yes? That's different. I did say in the beginning of all this, that I didn't know the semantics of the job, BUT....
It looked a lot like a customer throwing you to the wolves on a print job. BTW, I totally agree with everything you're saying... that's not what it sounded like before. Thanks for clearing it up.

Youston took the Y from my name for his alias and in exchange he let me have use of an X for a new fake name. It's working out nicely, thanks Youston!
I once was told by a customer to get a font from so-and-so website. Got to the page and the font and it was $42. Oh, sure, we're going to spend money just to get your stupid font for a $50 job. Not hardly.
Tried running this through identifont, but no dice. Did some visual checking on Adobe and dafont, but couldn't figure it out. What other font identifier websites are out there for me to check it on? Looking for the Mama Sue's part - I already identified Soul Food Chicken & Waffles (Showcard Gothic).

I did the EXACT same thing, and got nothing. :laugh: Whatthefont for you, Sendspace for me. :laugh:
An awful lot of plugs for whatthefont.com lately. We used to have a member who talked about it all the time, as if no one else already knew about it.

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. :laugh:
Font ID request. Any suggestions? Whatthefont can't help me unless I butcher up the low-rez JPG I was given to work with. :rolleyes:
Papyrus?
That's what I thought, but it's not a match. Also has to be a clean font, this is for an embroidery job.
New prepress rule: If customer doesn't ID the font use Comic Sans.
you could try wtfont, upload papyrus and see if it gives you any other choices.
there is a font that looks like papyrus, can't remember tho.\
Found something called plato that is similar more solid
never mind not a match, sorry

It looks like a hybrid between Comic Sans & Papyrus, my two favorite fonts of all time. :sarcasm:
I thought Comic at first and we all "know" that embroidery uses PC only fonts. Set it and see. When I first saw the thread feature I went "cool" but could not imagine a font that "looked" like embroidery.
It's just not "whimsical" enough to be Comic Sans. :vomit:

From everything I have read, it Papyrus converts over well for embroidery. I cannot find anything offering a clean-edged alternative. Sorry.
It looks very much like a whimsical Papyrus, but the letterforms just aren't matching. The image I posted is actually a scan of an embroidered sample and the letters just don't have the delicate, rough edges of the almighty Papyrus. I might end up just tracing with a brush in Illy.
Even when you contort it? I haven't tried.
I might start with Papyrus and then smooth edges in Illy. The embroidered sample is fatter & more "whimsical" than standard Papyrus, but it's a close start.
Maybe you should just embroider your own font...
If it's Comic Sans I'm all into it. Nothing but the best.

Frailer, I know you're not "from here", but nobody does that except rural Christian women in Oklahoma. Everyone else just guides their motorized wheelchairs straight to the dinner table so they can eat 5 times the amount of food a normal person actually needs to eat.
I love learning about other cultures. :cool:
off topic for awhile but an interesting note none the less..
The Shriner's up here in canada have a monthly publication called "papryus"..... the title of the publication "papryus" is set in what font do you guess?? PAPRYUS. not kidding I seen it myself.

Or uncultures?
Anyway, I'm still dealing with this *whimsical* Papyrus breed of font. Half an hour of Googling has resulted in nothing so I'm tracing it right now. Papyrus just isn't close enough so I think it'll be faster to just redraw from scratch.

Quote from: tapdn on November 29, 2010, 04:24:04 PMYou bake your own bread from scratch too, don't you?
No. I rarely eat bread (wheat intolerance).
Finished tracing it. Cleaned up letters in Photoshop, placed in Illy, did autotrace, and cleaned up paths a bit more. It's good enough for embroidery.
now, save it as a jpeg, place it in word, then print a laser and fax that to them.
done.
easy peasy

Make sure you have a good sight picture. One shot, one kill.
Funny related aside. My brother went hunting recently, took 3 shots at a deer from prone with a bipod. Thought he hit with all 3 but no blood trail next to the tracks. The next day we went and took the shots again from basically the same position. Only then did he realize that there was a berm in the line of fire. Yup, 3 shots right into the dirt and didn't notice.
I'm looking for a bold serif font with equal width strokes. (eg: both vertical strokes of letter M are the same width). I just scanned through the 2,196 fonts I have in FEX right now and couldn't find one serif font with equal strokes. Can anyone think of one? :kiss:
Bookman is the closest I can think of, and they're not quite equal, but close?
And I hesitate to add this, but there's always courier ;)
Seriously, I've not been able to find anything either, and I just waded through a sizable part of the adobe font catalogue. Where the heck else is there to look?

Maybe Officina Serif?
Thanks all. Courier and Officina are too blocky. I'm trying to match a sample someone traced from a sign. :sleepy:
So is it some kind of conspiracy that EVERY serif font on the planet has different width strokes?
Anytime I have a font issue I just use comic sans. You really can't go wrong with that choice. It's the "everything" font.

I'll deal with this tomorrow. All I got traced was an A, an M, and two zeros. :laugh: Another one of those *fun* jobs. The stroke widths are definitely uniform and equally fat, unlike the other 8,000 serif fonts I just looked at.
