Does anyone know what font is used for the ampersand (the "&") in the X&Y title?

 

It's not albertus.

 

Thanks all!

I was wondering that too, but couldn't figure it out. :/

not a clue :huh:

I can find out but I need a picture of it...can't find any large enough.

does anyone know where I can get the Albertus font from? I had it on my old computer but not on this one. Cheers for the help x

20th cent. ...whatever...

is close (microsoft word)

The closest thing I can find is a font called 'Columna Solid', which you can buy/find out about here.

 

EDIT:

 

I also figured out what font they used for the liner notes.

 

It's called 'Banjoman'. See here.

 

If any kind soul has either font and wants to share, IM me!!

 

Cheers,

 

Andrew

I have Albertus, but I use open type fonts (not .ttf). If you're sure you're PC (unless you have a mac, which supports it for sure) supports open type fonts I'll share it. Although it's generally a commercial font so PM me if you need it.

there you are:

I know this thread is a hundred years old, but here's something I just wanted to say.

Think I recently found out that the ampersand and the liner notes are one and the same font, called ITC Serif Gothic.

 

 

The ampersand is slightly modified but definitely is Serif Gothic as well. This makes me think the band might've cleverly used only two fonts for the whole X&Y album artwork.
