Sorry to crash this post but can anybody tell me what this font is.

I've tried 'What the font' and all the other ways but I'm still dumb struck.

It's on the title image of the 'Nice work for Nokia...' Creative Review blog post.

It say's Dragonfly Love'

I think it could be a mixture of the Champion or Knockout fonts from Hoefler & Frere-Jones, looks like it to me

Another effortless piece by the industry skiver, boring use of phrases on a large scale overpriced print, which will no doubt be available as 20,000 posters. Yawnfest

@OH_DANNYBOY

Thanks

Found it though.

It's examiner with a few tweaks

George Monbiot in The Guardian poses the key question here

'Forget, for a moment, the fragility of the Arctic environment and the likely consequences of a spill there. Forget the dangers of deepwater drilling in a strait plagued by storms and icebergs, and the difficulties –greater than in the Gulf of Mexico - of capping a leaking well there. There’s an even bigger question raised by a British company’s discovery of oil off the coast of Greenland .... What is that lovely font?'

Examiner?

Your off your rocks sonny boy!

I'd stick with Champion or Knockout if I was you.

Lovely idea. I imagine printing with oil is a bloody nightmare! So good job!

@I don't know

You got the wrong font for the dragonfly thing, it's Neutraface, it's typeset in NEUTRA TEXT BOLD ALTERNATE, it's a house industries font.

Anyone else notice the irony between this and BP's latest output?

Really nice print. Its hard to believe that the whole BP disaster was ever allowed to get so bad.

On another note - I would have thought the sand would have wrecked the screen.

Reminds me of Craig Wards beautiful "Ink and water Don't Mix' piece

@ Luke. Need your eyes checking mate. Examiner is closer than Champion or Knockout

@ Oh_dannyboy. Yep you got it.

Thanks to the both of you though.
