    Posted by Cheryl Tissington on 30 November 2006 at 15:14

    Hi there,
    I’d appreciate a wee bit of help in recognising this font style if possible.

    I’ve checked through my load of fonts 😮 without success !

    I’ve also checked out whatthefont. There are lots that look similar, but the g is a bit different to most.

    I’ve probably got it, but just missed it ! 🙄
    Clicking through 1000’s font can be a bit eye boggling !

    Anyway, thanks again (<(

    Cheryl 😀

    Hi,
    thanks for your help.
    Unfortunately the s and g are not quite the same.

    Regards,
    Cheryl (<(

    Hi Thanks folks,

    I haven’t got basker bold Lorraine, but baskerville looks pretty close…thanks Nick.

    I can’t believe how many different little baskers there are out there 😀

    I might have to baskerdise it to make it the same :lol1:

    Many thanks for all your help,

    Hi Cheryl, did Bask. Old face do the trick? I ask cos I didn’t compare it myself, just thought it looked right & I was on my way home…..the weight may have been wrong?

    Hi Lorraine,
    Its similar.

    I started looking at all the baskerville fonts 😮

    One called baskerville handcut is similar. Some are more curvy than others. I need one with a flat bottom (don’t we all) :lol1:

    The original design has been done for miles by a top design company. 🙄
    I think they’ve stretched the font and thats why it looks different to a lot of the baskerville fonts. The M is very leggy.

    This is the same design company that wants me to produce the sign in the pantone colours they provided. (they gave me CMYK) 🙄 👿

    Anyway, I’ll reproduce the graphics this morning using b. handcut.

    This guy has bought out 10 Thomson shops and I’ve got to fit completely new signs and window graphics between 18th-24th Dec (hmm)

    Mustn’t Grumble !

    Thanks again,
    Cheryl x

    George,
    that would be far too easy. What these people have in business sense, they seem to lack in common sense ! 🙄

    Miles had the artwork done by a guy he used to work with at the design company.

    I’ve only got a paper copy to work from. They’d probably end up giving me a mac file anyway.

    It wont take me long to sort it, now I’m on the right track.

    Cheers,
    Cheryl 😀
