Can anyone identify this font?

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

The font used on the bookcover at
1400044731.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V57219386_.jpg is escaping me. The closest
thing I can find is Huxley Vertical, which isn't quite right (and the
version I have has no lowercase). Can anyone provide a clue?

I realized belatedly that the URL I gave is not complete (or rather, that

It's not an exact match but Esselte Letraset's Mekanik is close.

Thanks, Tom. That's a tad better than Huxley but still not quite right. The
E and F need to be curved, without right angles. It was for a poster I had
to have by today, so I went ahead and used Huxley. It's not really
important, and I suspect no one will really notice the difference. The
poster will stay up only a brief time (it's for a weekly book review
program), so it's not the end of the world. I just try to match the book
cover font whenever possible.

That's not a bad match either. However, note the difference in the
majiscule A among a few subtle differences.

I wonder if those differences are from the use of a different font or
some artistic manipulation for the cover ...

Hi;
That is certainly possible. However, the thought that is nagging at the
back of my head is that I have seen that font somewhere before.

There are a few others of similar inspiration. Anna is another but it is
not a good match at all even although it has the same flavour.

Ah well, it will probably hit me at 3 in the AM in several days.

Tom

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

It looks like a pretty good match to me, although I see what you're saying
about the A (height of the crossbar). I would have been very well satisfied
with that one (though not enough to buy it for a one-off use). At least it
would have given me something to search on to find a free clone. Thanks to
both of you.

Not even close. Were you thinking of Assembly (mentioned by Character)?

Agreed. Tt is not condensed enough and many of thje majiscules are too
"squared"-off. The majiscule A is interestring.

No, was not thinking of Assembly buit I would not be surprised if there
were a similar SSI/SSK font.

Clones: the Southern Software (SSI and SSK) versions, allegedly cloned
with FontMonger from Adobe originals, were/are named Assembly.
Produced in regular, outline, light, and alternates.

I don't know the legal status of their fonts. They're certainly no
longer offered for sale anywhere, and I can't find more than a few
on-line.

URW Timbre also looks quite a bit like it:

Or maybe a compressed, shaded version of Sol (by Image Club), though I've
not found that on the web.

[Klaus Linke]

Definitely URW Timbre, not Sol (... I just remembered the typical "E" and
"S", but it looks very different).

It does look pretty close, though the E in Timbre is rounder, not as much
the rounded-rectangle look. In any case, when I needed it was a month ago! I
make posters for the weekly book review programs; I do them the night before
they're needed, so I don't have much lead time to search for fonts.

Suzanne,
Though it is a hassle, this site has helped me many times.

It will ask you a bunch of "questions" and it will narrow down to a few
familys that match your fonts look.
