Yeah, I got Fournier MT for those also. Which is still very different from main (and as yet, unidentified) main logo font.

OK, how about this one? It's the font they used on the T-shirts on sale during the tour also:

For the Book of Jam, a lot of the fonts are still Fournier MT, but the "Book of Jam;" logo itself is Didot HTF 96 Bold (excepting the huge "Jam" on the first issue, which is different (perhaps custom?)).

So, whats the latest "barking era" font then?

Some type of stencil font (obviously), but I haven't been able to match the exact typeface yet.

The closest I've found are P22 Pop Art Stencil or URW Bodoni Stencil Bold, but neither is an exact match.

i think the new font (same used in athens) is an abstraction of another font.

the 'g' and 'U' shapes are guidelines. try identifont (www.identifont.com). i believe it might be a classic roman, serif font.

You think it's a new stencil based on a non-stencil font? Maybe, but I couldn't quite come up with a match that way either. Closest I've found for non-stencil fonts is ShinnType Walburn Ultra, but R and S serifs aren't right, and the circles in the O and D are wrong.

and i want to be even more far-fetched: i think the font comes from a blackletter kind or even a relative of an old english.

but after trying to find the font last night i saw the shapes and they're totally roman fonts.

emigre did a re-image of some clasic fonts too. it's not a uncommon thing to see in type foundries.

Nah, i think john warwicker prefers to use actual fonts, based on the fact that he has a deep appreciation for them... plus i have a hunch he is a bit lazy

we continue :P

maybe it's a bodoni relative? g, D, U, y are extremely similar. i'm comparing the ;dgboy writting with bodoni family... there's such thing as bodoni stencil?

poster bodoni for life!

I thought Bodoni was really close too. I was only able to find Bodoni Stencil Bold though. I think a "non-Bold" would be really, really close.
