Anyone know what font(s) is/are used on BSD inserts?
I would try https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/. Although it could be a custom font.
Quoted from Kneissl:Tried. no joy.
I'm no font expert, but likely it is custom. I would shoot Aurich a PM, he might have some ideas.
I seem to remember years ago of someone mentioning a similar font, but not exact font. I'll look around and see if I can find it again.
I don't think it would be a custom font because it is used across the whole PF. I'm trying to find it for you. It looks like a fraktur-style font but it is an oddity because it is an all-caps font. Typical fraktur caps are very expressive and it is very difficult to read words set in all caps. This BSD font employs capitals that are as toned-down as lowercase fraktur letterforms.
The best I can find so far is that it looks a lot like a 1935 Fraktur called Element which has been recreated here: http://www.bandittransamclub.com/Element%20Font.htm
Actually, looks closer to Tannenberg (1935). There appear to be various free recreations, among them: http://www.1001fonts.com/tannenberg-font.html
