Hello,
I'm trying to identify a font for which I only have a short sample. I've tried various sites that identify fonts by asking a series of questions
about the letter forms but have drawn a blank.
The most obvious characteristic is the W with crossed central vertex.
It is a solid geometric sans-serif font, a book font NOT a decorative
font. Light and slightly oblique.
W - central vertex crosses like overlapping VV
(e.g. Garamond Antiqua but sans-serif)
Q - tail joins loop without crossing it
P - Gap where bowl meets vertical
U - no stem
3 - curved
4 - closed
i - square dot
M - mid vertex on baseline
g - single storey
a - double storey
Can anyone identify this?
Over a decade late but I believe the font they were looking for was Garamond.

What is a serif font with both a crossed M and a crossed W?
