I found 'OnRamp' which is similar-ish... but maybe too square...


Anyone?!

THink this is Gagarin!

Hey all

Can anyone recommend anything that might be similar to this, or even the actual typeface? Sure I've seen something like it, but mind gone blank!

Thanks in advance!

Ben

Could be Blackout you're looking for here?

Not identical, but you could try this?

Silverfake, from the good people over at Font Fabric!

Not exactly the same, but in the same area is Vanthian? You could try that?

Looks a bit like Flareserif - if that's any help?

No-one? Still not having any joy myself on this one...

Not exact, but could be Plakatbau??

Homestead - found at Lost Type Co.

Hey

Anyone happen to know what this might be please?! Need it for some artwork, but can't place it!

Thanks!

Ben

Looks like it could be one of the DIN faces to me.... ?

The 'C' and 'G' are Book Antiqua, if you wanted those also.

Ostrich maybe?

Could be Nexa?

Garamond has some of those characteristics.... although the 4 isn't that small... so maybe not too helpful...

Oh dear...

Oh... actually, this is 'River'.... exactly, by the looks of it.... http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/sedgwick-co

Okay, so I got my reply from Kate. Unfortunately it didn't do much to persuade me that this wasn't deliberate. She now claims the similarity with Slice and MK Stencil is 'by chance' (and backtracked on the Klein being the copy claim), as with 'Bleacher/New Athletic' and 'Midwest/Legend' also (There is base work to back up those last ones apparently, but is "backing down" due to Mo's threat of legal action over it, suggesting it's not very convincing - or existent) .... Apparently she's also apologised to the designers of the real versions too. I wonder if the customers will get one?

River, City, Rounder, Quadrant are all still claimed as "hers", but after a bit more searching, 'Archive' on Font Fabric (http://fontfabric.com/archive-free-font/) seems to be the basis for 'Rounder' (check the flat headed ampersand), and 'River' does bear a striking resemblance to House Industries 'United Extended' (http://www.houseind.com/fonts/unitedcollection/viewfonts). Not exact, but enough to raise suspicion.

So there we have it. I don't think she was maliciously deceptive in stealing the fonts, but I'm certainly sure she thought she wouldn't be caught. Thanks for helping me to find the matches and reassure me I wasn't way-off track with my doubts, and hopefully now she won't be doing this again in the future.

(Oh - and she considers this thread to be getting 'petty'. Fancy linking up all those fonts to other people's work, eh? How childish of us.)
