    jimbo, I don't reckon it to be fully clearface.

    Some of your letterforms look damned close but not all of them and look at the serifs — they look closer to some cuts of garamond or maybe goudy at the serifs, more old-style in any case. The serifs on Clearface tend to be a little slabbier in most cases, though the top of the A is a close match as is the ampersand. Maybe it started its life as Clearface but it's certainly not that now. Look at the R for instance, or the G.

    So is it custom? Define custom. It didn't spit out of a foundry looking exactly the way it does now did it? It's customised, in any case.

    Leave it at that or contact Beck's directly, go right to the top, and demand the truth and don't stop till you've gotten it. ;)

    • Or just use Letraset Shatter®, its close enough.Orbit
    • I suggested Nuptual Script but nothing. We're so undervalued Orbs.pylon
