Anthony Hughes font used for title and title page

Dorico
#1

Hi friends! Does anyone know the name of the font Anthony Hughes uses for his titles and title cover? It’s beautiful!

Can you post a sample image? I haven’t found two with the same type so far.…

Okay. The font that I saw Anthony Hughes use can be found in the Dorico Title Page video. At 2:05 it shows him selecting “Bonning Narrow” as the font for the title. So, my next question: Where can I safely download fonts? I’ve never done this before and I don’t want to inadvertently download malware. If you haven’t seen the font, take a look at the video; it’s lovely! Thanks!

Hmm.

Off-topic curiosity

I Googled John Barron last night and found an English actor (1920–2004). So I looked on IMDb and saw various titles and covers. If I had to guess, it was going to be the font on the title of a 2-DVD set of “All Gas and Gaiters”. It turns out this has some similarities to Bonning. I knew nothing of the actor or the series before, and I hadn’t seen that Dorico video.

But I now think the font similarity is a random coincidence! because the video is presented, as usual, by Anthony Hughes. So what has John Barron got to do with it?

Oh my goodness. I meant to say Anthony Hughes! So sorry for any confusion! My post has now been corrected.

John Barron is a pseudonym used by Donald Trump - a pretend spokesperson for the Trump organisation.

I think it’s unfortunate that Anthony Hughes and John Barron are both being discussed in this topic in a way where either one of them could possibly be embarrassed.
