Identify this font

Please identify this stencil font.

I've seen several at myfonts.com and fonts.com, but I can't seem to get a perfect match. Thanks!

What font does MS use for its office 2011 logo?

The "Office" is in a font called or close to one called FreeSet Book
The "mac" is in a font called or close to one called Kievit OT-Extra Light
The "2011" is in a font called or close to one called Qugard Sans-Regular Caps Tf

Identify Text Fonts

Can anyone identify the two different fonts used in this image? Ive tried all the online font scanners/questionaires and even tried raster to vector image converter because the program im trying to do this in can create lines from a vector image but the raster is not sharp enough to give me what I need. Im trying to get a toolpath for this which requires I have the lines and the program (Mastercam X4) has a Raster2Vector converter to create lines/arcs out of an image but as stated its not sharp enough to create a good copy of it. If anyone could identify the fonts or even give me an AutoCAD, Solidworks, Mastercam or any other drafting program drawing of it that would be awesome!

"Pennsylvania College" looks like a weight of Helvetica, I'd go for Helevetica Neue Cond Bold, but some combination of Helvetica in a Narrow/Condensed and Bold variation should do the trick.

"PennState" is a bit small to usefully work with -- perhaps someone with better eyes than me can advise!

Cheers

I ran it through What The Font on myfonts.com and it came back with Din for the top font. I'm not sure about the "Penn State" font. Might be a custom wordmark. Here's a link to a pdf (illustrator editable) that has all of the branding assets for Penn State.

Hopefully that helps.

It's not Din -- the body of the 'a' slopes downwards more in this sample, and the tail of the 'y' is shorter here than in Din. I'm going to stand by Helvetica in some Cond/Narrow version on this one.

Cheers!

I agree it's a version of Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold, the small text reminds me of optima.

Here's the 10 sec photoshop job:

This is probably really obvious but what font is the text on this IRC screenshot in?

Nah, don't think it's Helvetica. Helvetica is curvier than the font in this.

 

[bingefeller]

OK I think that font I asked about it Geneva, not 100% certain though.

 

[Jim Campbell]

Nah, don't think it's Helvetica. Helvetica is curvier than the font in this.

MagicWok posted the same wording in Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold a couple of posts upthread. Looks pretty close to me -- if you have a font that's a better match, can we see it?

Cheers

I'm thinking it's Univers Bold Condensed.

 

[Jim Campbell]

I'm thinking it's Univers Bold Condensed.

Univers doesn't have the curly flourish on the end of the tail of the lowercase 'y' and the body of the lowercase 'a' slopes downwards more in this sample than in Univers.

Seriously, it's Helvetica Neue Cond Bold.

Cheers

Myriad Set

what is this one? is it an Apple font? please help...
thanks

Yes, it is Apple's version of Myriad, called Myriad Set. It's next to impossible to get it because Apple makes you sign a release that you will not distribute it. I have it because I've worked on some Apple projects and our Apple rep gave us a copy ...but I can't give it to you, sorry

...but Myriad Pro Semibold is really close. It's just not quite right if you're a perfectionist (like me). Cheers!

You're telling me! Who couldn't identify Serpentine?! Geeze.

(Sorry. Just me being jealous for not getting there first.)

 

[Blue Velvet]

Aww, shucks.

Not for IDing Serpentine per se, just for being a font stalwart and guru, keeping this thread and forum being a valuable resource. Although the thread now has Q as the OP, after some recent edits, it was one of the first things I set up when I was moderating a few years ago after this forum got clogged with so many font ID threads.

Anyway, more power to your elbow, Mr. Campbell.

Very kind! Pity my poor wife who -- only today -- was treated to me commenting that you don't very often see Barmeno Extra Bold on an Emergency Exit sign…

Bit of a conversation killer, that.
