Font information requested

I'm looking for any information regarding this font used in ITN bulletins during the 80's and early 90's:

Does anyone know what font it is? If it's a library font, does anyone know of a free alternative?

Thanks in advance.

According to WhatTheFont it could be:
DAX: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/fontfont/ff-dax
MONDIAL PLUS: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/wiescherdesign/mondial-plus/
or LEGATO: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/fontfont/ff-legato/

Out of those choices it looks to me like Legato. It definitely isn't Dax, I can tell you that!

Thank you both for your help.

It's none of the above - your closest beast is Frutiger: However, it's not genuine italics, just slanted type. The capital C is the give-away.

I'll agree with this, and was about to say it looked a bit like Frutiger!

Thanks Andrew.

I'm working on a mock recreation at the moment, hence the request, so I thank you for the information.

You're welcome.

I like my fonts!

WhatTheFont is only really useful for clear and/or large images - there's nothing like a keen eye and a brain full of typefaces.

Another font request: any idea what font is used in this ITN logo (just the ITN logo, not the wording below it).

Franklin Gothic Demi Condensed at a guess - http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FMID=958


And on re-reading your query - it's the ITN lettering you're after. Oops!

Oops! Thanks for that though Andrew. It's confirmed that I am using the right font! Cheers.
