What font is this?

Honestly, I’m not even sure which subforum this belongs in.

Thanks!

Heh... hilarious. Really.

My apologies, I completely missed that you were the one who posted this; I honestly thought it was just a direct download link. I've been hunting through the images for a while now trying to track down the actual file, but no luck so far. I might check in with an old friend of mine to see if he knows where it's tucked away somewhere.

I'll take all five, thanks anyway.

I suggest you head back over to dafont.com and give a proper thank you to User123 for the assist. It’s the exact font you were looking for.

I suppose he went ahead and downloaded the font to give it a proper test run... though if he didn't, well, there's really nothing more to be said about it.

Whether he actually did it or not, his response ("very similar but it's not ...look letters V and t ...thank you anyway") is pathetic.
If he actually checked, he should find a different hobby...
...and if he didn't check, there's no point wasting more breath on him.

I won't even bother mentioning the stats here:

Person Y: "Bentley Embiricos; 1937 /image of whole car/"
Person X: "It's similar, but not the right one... you can see this one is red and yours is silver. Plus, the side window is down on this one... thanks anyway."

I certainly understand where you're coming from 😁

By the way, that ___________, my first thought was actually that it might be part of a signature...

Like I said before, it looks pretty similar, but it’s definitely not Shameless because the crossbar on the 't' mimics the curve of the 's' and extends further down, plus the start of the 'V' curls much deeper than what you see in Shamelles. You can't really nail those specific font details unless you're looking at the deluxe version, the regular one, or some other variation, but I've checked and it doesn't match any of them. Am I just splitting hairs here? No. I'm just trying to find the actual font.

It would have been much smarter if you hadn't posted that anywhere else.

...because the crossbar on the 't' looks more like an 's' and extends downward, plus the start of the 'V' curls deeper, which isn't the case in Shamelles.

Look, nobody is calling you "blind." It's just that you can't seem to connect what you're seeing into a coherent whole—clearly, you lack the necessary graphic design knowledge and experience.
Did it even occur to you that the 't' could simply be a capital letter?

You can't get details on a font unless it's the deluxe, regular, or some other specific version...

Not even by erasing, drawing, retouching, copy-pasting, or any other similar "maneuvers" in something like Photoshop?

...and it's been verified that it doesn't match any version.

And how many "versions" have you actually tried? Better yet: how many "versions" do you even know about—aside from the two you listed?

----------- ----------- -----------

- the word "Vintage" doesn't demonstrate (i.e., "promote") a specific font; it was just typed out using a certain font. And it happened to be typed that way "by chance"—it could just as easily have been hand-drawn.
In other words, for the word "Vintage," it's not even remotely important how it was created (whether via a ready-made font, manual drawing, or a combination of both).

- the word "Vintage" isn't presenting the characters of a particular font; it's the design of a name for some "third-party" product.

- the "Shameless" font is a proprietary font (and it isn't cheap). Having "too many similarities" with another font is considered plagiarism. Much like in music or any other creative work.

- etc., etc.

----------- ----------- -----------

Below:
The letters "V", "i", "n", and "T" were typed individually, while "a", "g", and "e" were typed as a single word ("age"). This way, you can use the "Shameless" font to recreate the exact look seen in the sample. The differences are too negligible to claim anything other than the use of "Shameless." Hopefully, that's clear now:

hmm, yeah
Could be, I guess. You clearly know your way around a design suite, but man, I gotta tell you—your nerves are absolutely shot and you've still got a hell of a lot of life left to live. Why don't you try actually doing something productive in that field instead of just stressing out?
btw, Ron's Vintage collection is named after what I consider the most legendary designer of brushes and textures out there, Ron Deviney, and it has zero to do with the font itself; he just happened to use that specific typeface on the cover of his collection, which is why it carries that title—honestly, the title could have easily been "I have no clue, damn it." That’s exactly why forums like this exist, so you can ask a question and maybe someone who actually knows their stuff can give you an answer, even if you're currently flying blind. You probably want to jump down my throat right now for being so clueless, don't you?
At this point, I'm thinking my only move is to find the font through some shady back-channel just to test it out.
Thanks a million, man!

I ripped through Shameless and then Shameless deluxe, but they’re basically the same damn thing, except now I'm stuck with these weird V, T, and t characters. Honestly, what kind of wizardry did he pull to end up with this mess? It feels like some higher power is messing with me.



If anyone actually has a clue, Ron probably does, so I might just hit him up at rdeviney@hotmail.com—even though I know coppersailor28 will tell me I'm out of my mind if I try. But hey, I'm stubborn as hell, and once my mind is set, there's no changing it. Whatever.

Go back and read my posts in this thread again, one by one.

Quote just one single sentence that—either on its own or within context—points to... heh... my "nervousness." That is, quote a sentence that cannot be understood or read in any way other than as being "nervous"...

I am not responsible for your mood (or rather, how you personally perceive my posts).

If you think you were in a better position yesterday because of your unwavering certainty in your stance (it’s not that font), nope, you weren't... you're wealthier today. And I personally spent about half an hour of my life on you (a complete stranger) for the purpose of enriching your knowledge (/s via adding knowledge or perhaps by "removing" ignorance/).

In the graphic design subforum under typography... though I have to admit, I haven't seen anything quite like this yet.

Honestly, once you install a font on your PC and load it into Photoshop, the font name should pop up right there in your list—just check your downloads or wherever you saved it. Alternatively, if you want to get hands-on, you can just design one yourself using a font maker tool.

Yeah.
I can't even find this specific font because I haven't a clue what it's actually called, so I just grabbed Shameless, though there’s a noticeable difference compared to the one above.
It crossed my mind that maybe the guy just built his own font based on Shameless—you know, a total rip-off—but how would I even know if he's got any actual sense of design when I can't see the rest of the characters? I've got Fontographer, but again, how am I supposed to recreate the whole set when I only have these two letters to go off of? For now, I'm just sitting here waiting to hear back from him. If he never hits me back, it'll be a damn shame because I'm really digging this typeface, unlike most of those other handwritten junk fonts out there.

My own cluelessness is what sparked this whole massive debate, which is why I even bothered asking the question in the first place, though nobody actually suggested I should take a look at the Unicode settings. It turns out Shameless was the root of the problem, a realization I didn't hit until I finally cracked open the font file and fired up Fontographer.
My bad to everyone involved, and thanks for the help.

btw John's answer:
Hey, if you look at your glyph palette, you'll see there are actually several different variations of the exact same character you're trying to swap out; you can easily handle all of this within Adobe Illustrator or the latest CC version of Photoshop,
in AI, just head over to Type > Glyphs, and in PS, you'll find it under Window > Glyphs.
