Welcome to the eleventh ‘What Face Wednesday’ metal typeface identification competition! This week I am offering the prize of a pastiche Victorian letterpress poster (including free International p&p), hand-typeset and printed by myself on a mid-nineteenth century Columbian handpress. The prize can be viewed here.
All correct answers will be placed in a hat and one winner will be randomly drawn. To enter the prize draw, all you need to do is identify the typeface shown below and email your answer to me. If you are also able to name the typefoundry that still casts this typeface, I’d be very impressed!
Congratulations to the winner of this week’s competition, Jens Jørgen Hansen, who correctly identified the typeface as Tiern. This typeface was designed for the Tern Press, with punches cut, matrices struck and casting undertaken at the Dale Guild Type Foundry in the US.

They’re getting more difficult, aren’t they?
