Brides 2002/2005
Her World Brides in 2002. Clearface for the the masthead and headings in Humanist 521 in 2 weights.
Body is in Gill Sans and Clearface.
Her World Brides in 2005. Would need some help for this. Masthead in Clearface and possibly Trade Gothic. The headings are set in Futura and Snell Roundhand.
The body is set in Mrs Eaves, Futura, as well as yet another unidentifiable font (Number 3). The closest I could get was Baskerville or Garamond.
Posted by Randy at April 13, 2005 10:46 AM in typographyI don’t see any DIN in the mast.
Nor Minion in the body, rather Mrs. Eaves again (and Italic).
Dunno the 3.
Posted by: Stephen Coles at April 19, 2005 01:15 PMI’m thinking Mrs Eaves is a bit heavier than the body copy.
Posted by: jbarks at April 19, 2005 01:22 PMBTW dude, True Romance is set in Snell Roundhand.
Posted by: jbarks at April 19, 2005 01:32 PMWe’re thinking that the little herworld in the masthead is DIN.
Randy noticing DIN in an obituary just cracks me up.
Posted by: Karen at April 19, 2005 01:41 PMThanks Stephen. You’re right.
Carelessness on my part. DIN’s lowercase L has a nice tail, which Ernest and I love which is missing in “her world”.
I’m thinking it’s probably Trade Gothic Bold with crazy negative kerning.
Posted by: Randy at April 19, 2005 03:40 PMTrade Gothic Bold No. 2, actually. The counters in normal Trade Gothic Bold are different.
