Gregory-CJ Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Good day, I need your help in identifying this font. Here's a bit of history with this font. I bought this font package over 15+ years ago when I was using Adobe Indesign and running a windows machine. Over the next decade, I switched over to Mac computers and approx. 2018 started using Affinity publisher... I lost track of the whereabouts of this font package and would like to buy a copy to use with A. Publisher. Here are a few examples of some of the unique letter designs of this font package that I screen captured from an old document of mine. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and thanks for your help. All the best Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, it’s the Vivaldi font family: the ‘Knowledge’ example looks like Italic, not Bold Italic. Vivaldi is distributed with Microsoft Office products.

Alfred Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 For what it’s worth, my ‘go to’ font ID site these days is What Font Is. ‘What Font Is’ search result (This may not be a permalink.)

Gregory-CJ Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 I find that "What the font's" UI is not so friendly... can't get past the sampling page to view the font family.... states that I need to be a pro user...... no worries I was just interested in comparing the pricing between the two companies... "What the font" charges $48 CAN "What font is" charges.... ? no worries.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It often manages just fine by itself.

I’ve never had to pay to use any online font finder.

Gregory-CJ Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Alfred, I retraced my steps and clicking on next in step four , I get an error message .. Please enter at least one character........ yes , that is what I thought I was attempting to do. and then it invites me to TRY the pro membership for free,..... which suggests that the final step might complete itself , if I sign up for the pro membership.. but no worries.....

Alfred Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 19 minutes ago, Gregory-CJ said: it invites me to TRY the pro membership for free I understand now, Gregory! I thought you were referring to WhatTheFont, the MyFonts service that @Return mentioned. (The WhatFontIs error message in your screenshot was invoked because the software had failed to work out for itself what the character was, so it needed you to type a ‘V’ in the box underneath.) Yet another option if neither of the aforementioned services comes up with the goods is Font Matcherator from Fontspring.

Gregory-CJ Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Your suggestion did work and I did get through but couldn't find the vivaldi font.... Thanks for your help. Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
