Aladdin Sane by David Bowie

Aug 16, 2013 at 12:34

I found a topic on another forum identifiying this font as 'Caza' or 'Crystal', but I can't find either of those. If anyone could help me with this font, or really any standard serif font with two stripes or 'slashes' like this one, that would be greatly appreciated! (I noticed another topic up about Aladdin Sane but the image wasn't that great in quality)

The original font was definitely Crystal in my heyday. I saw you wrote that and I smiled - because as soon as I saw your sample, I knew it as Crystal.

The closest I've come to "Crystal" in digital form is Font Font's Scala Jewel Crystal Regular - it is heavier, clunkier, but tends to suffice. https://www.fontfont.com/fonts/scala-jewel/crystal-regular

If you are looking for something similar - that maybe Castellar will help you - if you feel ambitious, it's easy to draw in the "third" line. http://myfonts.us/td-h16K06

Meanwhile, I keep looking to see if maybe someone has created it this for digital use.

Thank you so much for the help!! The first options you posted are great, but I'm really happy you managed to find the Crystal font – I must not have searched hard enough, and I'm sorry for that. Again, thank you so much for helping, it means a lot!
