Font Hunt

Hi, folks.

Sorry to go a little off-topic, but I know more people here than on the more relevant lists. I'm looking for a typeface with long serifs, a high relative x-height, and thick ascenders (relative to other strokes), like below. Any ideas?

Re: Font Hunt

I used an app called “Find my Font” to find something like the “y” in your sample. Its best suggestions seem to be University and Gill Facia.

Re: Font Hunt

Wow. University is really fanciful! It wasn't what I had in mind, but I may use it anyway.

Re: Font Hunt

not to be snobbish but given a choice among fonts where one is by Gill and the others not, I always go with Gill! Of course your mileage may vary :)

Re: Font Hunt

I always like to get the finest things, but, in this particular case, the Gill option is a bit too tame.

Re: Font Hunt

Light weights of Bodoni seem to fit the description, but the x-height might be too low for your liking. URW++ has some examples.

Re: Font Hunt

I didn't think of that. If I add a few alternates and adjust the serifs, it's very close to what I want. I'll look for source files.
