I've had some setbacks today, including being woken at 6:15 by my schnauzers, discovering that my headache from yesterday did not go away, taking my prescription pill for my headache, which made me pass out and lose a couple hours to a delicious nap...
But. I just had a-maz-ing success. I was looking for the font in the secondary headline text on this Posada broadside:
And used identifont to try to find it. At first it was trying to tell me it was Baskerville, which it obviously is not. So I tried it again and came up with a font called Century 725. Now I have Century but it was not the same, as the one I wanted was a bold condensed version. Now Century 725 had a bold condensed version that looked just about right, or about as close as I could hope to get. Myfonts.com wanted $25 for it, which I could have shelled over, as this posters are important enough to me to be willing to put in the extra moola.
But a simple search for the font came up with a link to a free download of the exact version I needed, Bold Condensed.
Someone up there is looking down on me! :D
I also came to the realization that since 11th week reviews are going on, I wil have both Monday and Wednesday's class time to work. Yay! I do work better at school, with an actual desk rather than a couch/kitchen table.
So today I will go out and get some double-sided tape so I can tile-print my posters on Wednesday, and on Wednesday I will put together my presentation PDF as well. Marina emailed me back this afternoon, I think I will just have to email back and clarify my position, but, well, that takes time and I have to work on posters!
