I would like to know what are the font used for,

The Living Daylights

The early 80s Berkley paperback cover and the late 80s ones when they changed it.

For anyone who want to know what font used for the Raymond Benson Hardcover U.S. edition Bond novels. It is Denmark Regular, and you can get it themeworld.com. At themeworld.com every font, desktop theme and wallpapers they got there are free to download.

I don't know do they have what you are looking for or what I'm looking for. I have not gone there for a long while.

Hello Nicolas,

we have in Germany a list of the fonts which had been used on our main posters for the Bond franchise. A few of these fonts are different to british and american posters but others should be the same.



The fonts which could be identical in both languages:

Goldfinger (Clarendon Black)

Live and let die (Square 721 Bold Condensed)

The man with the golden gun (Folio Extra Bold)

The spy who loved me (Folio Extra Bold)

Moonraker (Folio Condensed oder Swiss 721 Black Condensed)

A view to a kill (Romana Bold)

The world is not enough (Steadfast)


On the homepage http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/ you able to load logos like the one from Octopussy
The font which is used for the british version of "Diamonds are forever" is Folio.

Don't entirely agree with that list (you know that I'm a terrible nitpicker when it comes to fonts, photographer ). Some dangerous half-knowldge in that.

'Zurich' is a plagiarized 'Helvetica', as is 'Swiss 721'.
'Square 721' is a plagiarized 'Eurostile', and IMHO not the font used for LALD.
And OHMSS looks much more like a 'Clarendon' to me.
'Schadow' for TLD? Interesting choice, but not certain if this is correct.

I've taken three starts over the past weekend to write a bit on the Bond poster fonts, but had to stop due to lack of time. There will be a piece on this topic from me, but there's some further research necessary, so it may take some time.

It's always a pleasure for me to get a great specıalıst like you to get to work, Stromberg . The guy who had presented this list in a German forum said that he had checked these fonts by a "Corel Gallery CD". You and I work often with a MacIntosh, so we know that a lot of things are different.



Finally a few examples done by the guy with his "Corel Gallery CD".





- manipulated via scans

[stromberg]

Oh, a Corel Gallery CD.
That explains the Swisses and Zurich

Still, doesn't look too bad. But TLD's 'Schadow' could still be a 'Stymie', and the alledged 'Clarendons' could as well be 'News' or even Frutiger's 'Egyptienne' (not 'Egyptian').

Would you believe... never noticed that they used Futura on the German DAF posters, but it's true.

[Professor Dent]

stromberg, I look forward to reading your finished piece on this topic - after you finish your research, of course.

photographer, is the Corel Gallery CD you are referring to the same one you would find in the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite package or is it something else?

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

And what's the "November 2008" font in the Quantum of Solace posters?

[stromberg]

And what's the "November 2008" font in the Quantum of Solace posters?

"Stainless Extended Bold"

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

Thanks!

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

And, the "No Limits, No Fears, No Substitutes" font from the GoldenEye posters? It doesn't look too much to the 007 Goldeneye Font...

[o07hmss]

TLD font is (or looks like) Marlboro Font.

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

It's STYMIE, I think.

[o07hmss]

On this blog you can find many poster fonts. Including The Living Daylights: Schadow Black Condensed

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

Thanks A LOT buddy
