SunChemical Font?

[peavey123]

Hey Guys, Need some help figuring out what the font is for SunChemical. It's pretty close to Bodoni but the serifs are different. Any idea?

Bauer Bodoni Black

I agree ... it's not Bodoni. But it is Bauer Bodoni. Specifically it's the Bitstream version. Virtually every major foundry has one or more Bodoni families in their libraries. There is Bodoni, Bauer Bodoni, Bodoni Antiqua and others. Each is different and each foundry's versions are different.

I'm putting it on Linotype Gianotten

all bauer bodonis Im seeing have a 'rise' to their serif shoulders

I'm sure you're right on that one Fred, but look at the top of the letters where the serifs are..bauer bodoni or any bodoni is curved, whereas the Sunchemcial font is straight. There also other subtle differences between them.

I find no perfect match with any Bodoni, Bauer Bodoni, Gionatten or Didot regardless of what collection. The closest match I get is Bauer Bodoni Bold, It would still require numerous tweaks.

Thanks for trying though. Do you think it's a custom typeface?

The counter of the C, eye of the e and terminals of the c and a are not correct.
