Once again I must call upon your collective infinite wisdoms to identify a font (or one similar):



Textile, from Apple.

While I'm at it it seems most of these are "default magazine fonts from the 1990s"; does anyone have any hints as to where I can find more of these kinds of fonts? Thanks!

WhatTheFont? and the forum is an excellent resource.

Oh, I'm bad. It seems that some digitizations of Dom Casual Italic had the looping "g" (like this one), so perhaps they tilted the italic font back? I don't know...

What's this font called? I see it on all sorts of stuff from Asia, and it's been bugging me.

FangSong. Comes with Windows.

Well, Asian languages are traditionally fixed-width, so it's probably just the combination of fixed-width and serif, of which there are very few designed in a Western context. Even when they don't use special fonts, they'll use the fixed-width unicode variants¬

Top one is Alternate Gothic Condensed. DIN is a good second choice.

Bottom one is a generic text serif. Looks like either Harriet Text or Miller Text, but really, you don't need to be picky.

Seems to be a dumb iOS bug. Something probably changed in FreeType.

It's a variant of Alternate Gothic. The curl of the R and stem of the Q narrow it down to Lorimer no. 2 Condensed, but really, any condensed font should fit the bill.

Secret work project means making my own pixel font. Most of this came naturally to me so I assume there's a billion other fonts with these exact same pixels, even though I painted this all by hand. 8x10.

Print shops often had giant catalogs of fonts with plenty of variants. Some of them they did in house, just modifying Futura or another font to give it their "unique twist", or to avoid having to pay for a real Futura stencil-set. The weird quotations are a giveaway -- they didn't see the quotation designs for Futura so they just picked it up from another font they had lying around.

It's likely that was a print shop's modification of Futura that never got digitized.

I'm partial to any of the Erik Spiekermann fonts. Have you tried FF Meta or FF Unit? If those don't fit, Interstate is a nice humanist sans fallback that I use in a lot of projects. One of those should really make your shitposting pop.

Remember the golden rule: if it's from a Japanese video game, it's most likely a FONTWORKS font. This one's NewCinema-D. Also available on FONTPLUS. And on my webspace.

Looks like Battling to me.

edit: not quite, Battling has a disconnected K. still, might be close enough. Anything "art deco" or "Futura" might be good enough for your purposes though.

Kabel, Futura, Bahaus, Avant Garde. Really, any geometric sans will do. Those are the classics.

i like how the guy started off with the A and B having that curve thing and then he got to C and said "oh gently caress" and then forgot about it for the rest of the font
