What font is this??

**graphicAE** · 02 December 2014, 03:16 AM

Hello,

I'm trying to look for this exact font and can't find it. Any idea were I can purchase it?

The text samples are way too small for my poor eyes.

Where did the images come from? Website URL? Knowing/seeing the site might help.

Hope this is better.

Especially thanks for the URL. It helped somewhat. I think it is FF DIN, Black or just Bold. Do note that the lowercase 'i' has a square dot versus a round one. The alternate lowercase 'i' character has a rounded dot.

I am left uncertain, though. They have fairly small text in their samples.

I really need the exact font. Hopefully it can be found and not a 'custom' made font.

Could be this one: https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/fontfo...ck/glyphs.html ? but aware of lowercase "i" being square rather round. But if you go through the 'Glyphs' option from the link is has an option to change it from 'square' to 'round'

But uncertain.

If you need the exact font, with only the poor examples I could find on the web site, I would contact the advertising department. I have done such things in the past. Some companies have been helpful, some not so much.

To me it looks like a good call Mike. graphicAE just curious but, may I ask why it has to be an exact match?

Thank you all for your help. I will be doing some graphic design using this font and some clients need the exact font.

Thank you. I still have questions but I'll drop it.

Nothing really to drop, Larry. Client wants, (mostly) client gets.

While I have often enough steered clients from one font family to another (one I don't have to one I do), some of the time I just work the font family (two or more copies) into the cost. One copy for me, of course, and at least one for them. The price for a family can often be a good persuader to choose something else. But I do remember plopping down a grand (or more) for each license more than once.

Often enough if the font family, or enough of the styles are priced "reasonably," I'll just bite the bullet and pay for my own copy without a word...at least if I believe I'll recoup it over time/jobs.
