unfortunately it looks like serpentine
- The BECK's part?
I reckon Syntax.pylon - Look at Syntax again. And I don't need the Beck's part.jimbojones
- syntaz is san serif, no?anxious_arms
- Yah, but the letterforms are close-ish.
I mean, hells-bells, it's all custom right?pylon - Ooh, just checked me fonts. Syntax was not the one I had in my mind's eye. I'll stop now...pylon
- Syntax Sans is a sans serif, yes.jimbojones
- The BECK's part?

It's suspiciously close to Didot or Bodoni, but not quite there.
- jimbojones0
Come on guys, pay attention, how can it be a Didot or Bodoni if it's not even a Modern? Look at the M, look at the G, R and A.
Where is typist when you need him?!
- Bodoni Poster Compressed is surprisingly similar. Counters are different tho.pylon
- Just about everything is different. It's like comparing Neo Sans and Verdana.jimbojones
- Haha, if you say so mate.
Someone geekier will be by eventually.
Could be Nuptual Script...pylon - Nuptual! Yes! It's a script font after all! thankyou thankyou thankyoujimbojones
- I was of course, joking.pylon

srsly. I bet its a custom job... the M & R´s are very unusual especially in this combination.
I think its based on bodoni.
- +1pylon
- the amperand is also very very unusual..moamoa
- The swash on the R don't feel right.pylon
- it's not custom, see the M in ITC Clearface, it is unusual, but not non-existent in text fonts.jimbojones
- yeah I totally agreemoamoa
- not based on bodoni.jimbojones
- teh M is not an evidence for a non custom font.moamoa
- show me one ampersand that looks like this.moamoa
- I've seen it used in a non-Beck's environment.jimbojones
- its not a Font.moamoa
- moa, hör mal auf mit dem Quatsch.jimbojones
- es ist kein font. ohne scheiss.moamoa
- woher willst du das so genau wissen?jimbojones
- weil ich mich mit schriften auskenne, es kann lediglich sein das es eine schrift ist die niemals digitalisiert wurde und nur als letraset zur vefügung stehtmoamoa
- nur als letraset zur vefügnung stehtmoamoa
- und wenn ich daneben liege... hab ich mich blamiertmoamoa
- ich werde mal die jungs von myfont fragen....moamoa
- ich kenne mich auch mit schriften aus. die hab ich schon mal in einer drucksache gesehen.jimbojones

the more Iook at it the more I think it may be custom and based on Clearface. The M, A, and ampersand are so unmistakenly Clearface. It looks like they may have redrawn the tail on the R and simplified the serifs and brackets on the E and C. I dont think its based on Bodoni because of the bracketing. Maybe the printing process is exagerating how thin the thin strokes are giving it the appearance of a didone.

I agree that it's not based on Bodoni or Didot now that I have look at it full size, but no way is this Clearface.

- monospaced0
At this point I need to ask. Why do you want to know what typeface that is?
- jimbojones0
I'm fucking obsessed with it, mono...
And it's a beautiful, very delicate, well-crafted unusual Font I'd like to use. I thought it may be by Stone or Slimbach, they have a thing the soft stuff like that, but no.
