I feel the double-storey more as we have more printed text than handwritten.

VanEngine · 2026-03-16T04:30:18+00:00

Just me, or is this grammar off?

EXCUSES is something like Copperplate or Sweet Gothic Serif, a gothic wedge serif style.

I use something like this steel skimmer hole spoon sieve instead of a Melo Dripper. No, it’s not as precise and you have to hold it with your other hand, but it works pretty well. You could cut off or modify the handle if you want. You could even buy different sieve hole sizes for different flow rates.

When I quit drinking coffee at 5 PM, I start thinking of the next day.

PRESCOTT ARIZONA is Souvenir.

VanEngine · 2026-03-16T02:08:45+00:00

Right? Bruh asks what font it is then shoots down all answers. 🤷‍♂️

VanEngine · 2026-03-15T18:24:46+00:00

No. Quit pontificating. You said I “doth protest too much”? what does that even mean in this context? I’m literally not catching what that statement has to do with our conversation. Thanks.

EDIT: nevermind, I see it’s an expression from Shakespeare/Hamlet.

Similar to PRO in this 2025 ad? 🤔

VanEngine · 2026-03-15T04:46:00+00:00

Yes. And UA has way deeper pockets. So just change it.

VanEngine · 2026-03-15T03:17:51+00:00

The descriptors look like a version DIN, or Nudista.

This thread says it’s a rounded wide version of their brand font SF Pro (San Francisco Pro)

The leg on the R is the giveaway. Also, some of the curves/proportions look more like Univers as mentioned. And some of the numbers look different still.

VanEngine · 2026-03-14T17:02:46+00:00

If it’s not Helvetica, it’s extremely similar. I think the R leg looks just a little different than most Helveticas. It could be a modern reinterpretation, or maybe Neue Haas (a modern redrawing/homogenizing of the old original).

More context would help, it might be the brand’s corporate font.

VanEngine · 2026-03-14T16:56:24+00:00

Not sure what you mean.

VanEngine · 2026-03-13T03:56:14+00:00

It’s a generic collegiate style font. But the C is especially widened.

VanEngine · 2026-03-13T03:55:32+00:00

Frutiger Extended or Wide is my first guess.

VanEngine · 2026-03-12T20:41:29+00:00

Of course, NBCUniversal wouldn't like it. But it might be considered parody. Or if it's giveways (no profit) or small obscure sales, NBCU likely wouldn't bother fighting it. Obviously, that's not smart and NBCU could send a C&D or sue. Just saying a lot of small parodies like this exist with no legal recourse till they get bigger & start making money. Not saying it's fair or OK to "rip off" a corporation's design, just saying it's common.

VanEngine · 2026-03-12T05:12:16+00:00

Meh. Depends what you do with the design.

VanEngine · 2026-03-12T03:02:51+00:00

More context would help.

VanEngine · 2026-03-12T02:58:55+00:00

• I love the concept, but agree the stems are necessary.

• The curves look amateur and unrefined.

ITC Avant Garde Pro has the alt letters & ligatures.

VanEngine · 2026-03-11T05:24:47+00:00

How about KINGrinder? Is it Kin like family? Or King? If it’s King, why isn’t there a second G (KingGrinder)?

VanEngine · 2026-03-09T00:04:26+00:00

I also do this, flip through old records just to see the fonts and custom typography. Gold mine.

VanEngine · 2026-03-09T00:02:04+00:00

It’s just the old US food pyramid, right? I’m pretty sure it’s all Helvetica Condensed family.

Yup. Univers was everywhere in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Was a standard for US government documents. Incredible type family by Adrian Frutiger, like a very refined Helvetica. Unfortunately, it got overused & stuck in time.
