Sorry if comment seemed off topic. I did comment before saying ‘I knew the name of the typeface, did it exist as a digital version’. I wanted to post a discussion, on a typeface that was in Letterpress. I knew the name of the letterpress type used (it wouldn't be a case of identification) however would fall into that category.
If I wanted to discuss a typeface for insight that isn't my own, guess it's not welcome here I take it.
Luke, please understand that many of us here feel that Typophile was kind of ruined by its Type ID feature. I was guilty of encouraging it by my participation for a long time, but it ultimately became a source of distraction and noise for those who really just wanted to talk about type and type design.
And fontid.co does a good job of handling that task.

The (well, one :-) reason I got in trouble on Typophile was that I was actively fighting a group of "collectors" using font ID as a gateway drug of sorts to piracy; the admin even assigned somebody to keep an eye on me so I didn't "scare off newbies"... I'm very happy that's no temptation here (for them or me).
It’s still possible to ask for typeface identification here, but the question has to be framed obliquely in a way that is interesting for type drawers to discuss, so it’s not just altruism for slackers looking for a quickie professional freebie.

The comment above was an example.
