Underworld Fonts
can anybody identify the various fonts used by Underworld, esp. the new style (Tokyo, RRP 12"s, OwB)?

Re: Underworld Fonts
Tokyo and RiverRuns might be Plantin.
edit: The OwB cover could be some kind of Garamond.

Identifont.com is great, you can even identify a font by appearance.

Re: Underworld Fonts
thanks Jan, that's a great site. Plantin does look like the same font as Tokyo.

Re: Underworld Fonts
This is the new "official" logo at the moment:

http://uwlive.rowla.com/img/underworldlogo_smallgif.gif

I beleive it uses a slightly re-drawn/thickened Times New Roman, ive tried to duplicate it and it is difficult, but the letter shapes and feet are exactly the same. The spacing/merging of the letters appear to be the most important thing.

Re: Underworld Fonts
The RiverRun vinyls are straight-up Plantin. It's an exact match.

Live in Tokyo is Adobe Garamond (not Garamond).

The logo though, is a lot harder. I haven't been able to make a match yet. It's not Times/Times New Roman though, nor is it Garamond. Times is close, but the serifs are too straight on the n d and r. Garamond's W has four upper terminals, which is just wrong.

Re: Underworld Fonts
If you mean this by Live in Tokyo then that's Plantin and not Adobe Garamond.
edit: I agree with Mike on Times New Roman for the logo. The Windows font is just not optimised for large font sizes.

Re: Underworld Fonts
Nope, and nope.

It IS Adobe Garamond. And Times New Roman is close, but the serifs aren't right.
