Thanks! Edit: Devinne Ornamental was in the right type family, but URW's DevinneD regular was the exact match.

So far OLED technology has been limited to pretty small display panels, such as certain smart-phone displays. It's pretty expensive to scale it up to the sizes of big HDTV sets without the display costing a giant fortune. Progress is being made with developing new methods to mass produce...

I need some help identifying the typeface shown in the attached JPEG image. The typefaces Victorian and Raphael are somewhat close, but still not correct. The frustrating thing is I know I've seen this typeface used a number of times previously. I just can't place the typeface name...

I need help identifying an odd script with a highlight/handtooled effect. See the attached JPEG. Thanks in advance!

I don't like outputting raster images from CorelDRAW. Whenever I take CorelDRAW generated artwork into Photoshop for embellishment I always work with vector-based paths. The process is faster, far more precise and consumes far less hard disc space. Unfortunately, since CorelDRAW does not...

The review of InDesign CS5 at PC Magazine said the application will open and temporarily install embedded fonts not found on the computer and allow the user to make changes to text. The fonts are then uninstalled when the document is closed. I don't know if this is just for .INDD files or if it...

I might start to get excited about Adobe Illustrator CS5 if it was compiled for native 64-bit operation and coded for true multi-threaded operation. As it stands, only Photoshop, After Effects and certain parts of Premiere are compiled for multiprocessor operation.

The funny thing is I could swear I've seen this font before. I wonder if it's some freebie typeface from a site like DaFont. But, yeah, looking closer at the photo I can see the two "T" characters are different. There's slight differences in the "E" characters too. I guess I'm probably just...

In Illustrator I usually define a CMYK "rich black" and apply that to any black in the image. Total ink limit varies between printers, but a formula like C=30, M=30, Y=30, K=100 usually works pretty well and will translate back to CorelDRAW with little problem. The bigger issues I have with...

It's ITC Anna. The lettering has been thickened a bit using something like the Contour effect in CorelDRAW or Path Offset in Illustrator.

Any ideas on what the font may be?

I have a copy of Helvetica on Blu-ray. It's an excellent documentary and is put together in such a way that anyone not well versed in type and graphic design would get it. I was happy to see a couple of people from School of Visual Arts in New York, such as Paula Scher, in the documentary. BTW...

I need some help with a font ID of the lettering in the attached photo. The lettering looks familiar, but for whatever reason I've got brain lock on being able to identify it. TIA.

Thanks!

Who makes prillia? I can't find it on any of the usual web sites (my fonts, etc.).

My brain just isn't letting me remember the font ID that goes with the attached sample. It looks a little like Arab Brushstroke, Benguiat Frisky, Impress, etc. Still, it's different.

I do most of my sign design work using CorelDRAW. As much as I like Corel for vector object editing, I don't like its color handling and print output. So I typically take my CDR artwork into Adobe Illustrator to make final color choices there. With CorelDRAW it's much more of a hassle to get...

Adobe Illustrator is limited to only linear and radial gradients. CorelDRAW can do square and cone gradients in addition to linear and radial gradients, but with the drawback of only supporting 256 steps. Illustrator's vector-based gradients feature a seemingly infinite level of steps (which is...

It would be interesting to see if anyone has tried running VersaWorks on the 64-bit public beta release of Windows 7. Our shop has avoided using Vista. The last four computers we have purchased came with free Vista upgrade discs, but we had them pre-loaded with Win XP Professional. If we can...

That is true, although some have their little oddities built into the authentic artwork as well. I'm far more willing to trust the validity of a logo grabbed out of a corporate annual report PDF than I would getting it from Brands of the World. Overall, it reinforces the rule of thumb that any...
