Anyone seem to know what font this is in the attached graphic?

-- Snip: "Dynamic Performance" graphic --

It's Microgramma Bold Extended. What may be throwing you is that Microgramma doesn't come in italic, which means that whoever did this either created their own italic version in a font-creation package or skewed the text in Illustrator or Photoshop.

Tracking is about -60 on "Dynamic" and -40 on "Performance", and a Shear angle of 8° will give you the necessary skew on the letters.

Cheers!

Jim

Hi all.

Anyone know what the Washington Redskins typeface is? I know I've seen it before (I might even have it), but I can't find it and all the font identification tools can't identify it.

Thanks.

Edit: Nevermind. I was having trouble identifying it (Pythagoras) because they did some custom work on a few letters.

Dale help much lol.

You can in fact Select All in the all collections and press print. Preview gave me a good 560 pages which I proceeded to save as PDF, then Font Book crashed on me. Each time I open Font Book now, the it won't print multiple fonts anymore, the print option in the menu just disables. Odd.

Sorry. Now I'll sulk all day...

I ran that Select All thing and got a 490 page PDF. Font Book still lives and I have a nice long reference list.

Asian Currencies

Hi,

does anyone know of a font that has Asian currencies without having to install all the asian languages, so just a font that contains all the currency icons as such?

I don't mind a paid-for but a free one is always nice!:)

Ta.

Really Annoying!!

I used this on a project and now can't the blooming font!

Tried all the usual websites and thought I'd ask you guys. I know it hasn't been tweaked so it's just a straight font.

Help...... PLEASE!

It looks like a DIN variant of some form, but DIN Next, the only version I know of which has a rounded variant, does not have a condensed rounded version.

It's also not Byrant Compressed, although most of the glyphs are similar apart from the C.

Can someone identify this font please?

The one i found is ITC Avant Garde Gothic Bold but i was looking for a free alternative and i found Birth of a Hero but i dont want all the grunge

any suggestions?

Yes...purchase Avant Garde :p. It's one of the most distinct geometric sans' out there, as much for the A, R and K as anything else. It's absolutely wildly popular now, particularly in music, showing up everywhere from Rock Band to every other flyer or poster for a gig, CD or artist you see. The classics & standards like Avant Garde are worthy investments, and they're all you really need.

What font is this?

Can someone identify this font for me? I know I've seen it before, but can't seem to find it. I've tried "whatthefont" with no luck. Thanks!

It Looks A Lot Like Morpheus

... But it ain't.

Whatdafont and Identifont have both failed me ... help me Design and Graphics Forum, you're my only hope.

Can anyone ID this font for me?

I'm sorry it's so small -- if it was any larger, I'd just trace it, but this is all I got.

Cheers!
