FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Michael Daines Designer at Letraset of University Roman, 1972-1983 (originally a font from the 1960s: Typographic Systems International [TSI]/Lettergraphics). Redesign by Michael Daines in 1972, and re-redesign by Timothy Donaldson & Phillip Kelly in 1977 in the Letraset Type Studio, based on his and Mike Daines' original design. His Hawthorn (1968) is a slightly serifed black typeface of elegant proportions. The lower case a is too far below the baseline though. He also released the Monotype Small Office/Home Office package: Diversities (dingbats), Gravura (calligraphy), Humana Medium, Humana Sans Medium, Orbon Bold, Pink (distressed), Stylus (architectural lettering) and University Roman. I am not sure if this is the same Michael Daines, but a certain Michael Daines made the iFontMaker font Monzter (2010, hand-printed). Linotype link. FontShop link.
