Please help with font Idenitification. Thanks
This is an 18 Pt. Font I am having difficulty identifying. I have been selling type on E-Bay and want to make sure of the proper identification. You folks have been very helpful in the past and I appreciate it. I have never seen the center stroke of the M drop below the baseline. Thanks in advance for your help. Please see pics.
Is it possible that it is Adtype? The “M” in your pic is somewhat difficult to see, but it does look like the center stroke goes ever so slightly below the line. Everything else looks about the same to me. Keep in mind that in the pics I shot from MacGrew’s book the sample is a 36pt font reduced…so there may be some variation between that and 18 pt.
Note the “g”, “k”, the ampersand, the “R”….etc.
This is the closest I could come and I’m not 100% sure.

The specimen shown in McGrew’s book was cast from Monotype mats. They may differ slightly from the original ATF mats. There are no particular ‘size’ variations in the Monotype or ATF series because their mats were all cut on a pantograph from one master pattern (Monotype’s pattern could be slightly different than ATF’s and this is not uncommon as Monotype adjusted many adopted designs to fit their own system).
