Garamond-Type Font

Apr 20, 2015 at 21:42

The big problem is the large midsection of the G. All the fonts I've tried have not had as large of one.
Ruled out fonts:
Adobe Garamond
EB Garamond
Garamond Classico
Garamond SC
Garamond
Garamond 3 URW
Apple Garamond
pretty much any "condensed" Garamond font

Partially Ruled-Out: Sabon Next (might actually be it)

I may have missed something but I've compared all these to the logo.

Not sure why you ruled out Adobe Garamond, as, as far as my old eyes can tell, that's what it is. I think there is just some hinky scaling applied to the 'GOD' part of the text…

Adobe Garamond

Will try. You may be right. I just think it may look like Adobe Garamond because that is the most popular version of Garamond.
EDIT: OK. You appear to be right. :P I with it didn't have the weird scaling. I am trying to recreate it with smoother letters because the original logo was not as large as I need it to be and scaling it made it less smooth and a little blurry.
EDIT 2: Something is wrong with Adobe Garamond. In Adobe Garamond, there is a slight curve at the base of the the D and the E. My logo does not have that.

EDIT: Nevermind. It does. Sort of.

It's some hinky scaling after all…

The top line appears to be scaled on a glyph by glyph basis. It's hard to tell from a slightly soft original, but I'd say with 100% confidence that that's a match. Since the scaling is odd, it's not impossible the original designer made some other slight adjustments…

Could you possibly provide the psd file for what you did there (Assuming you used the text tool)?

Problem is, mngfont, nowadays every nitwit with no knowledge at all about typography can manipulate any font and think (if capable of thinking at all) that it has done something creative. It won't be long before we are all covered under their shit.

There where days that we had educated people handling type, alas those days have gone.
