I've checked whathtefont, and it gets close with Knul, but alas, no cigar.
please help
note the lower case "s" and "y", and the "a"

That's not what Monica said.
Looks like some breed of Meta.
yeah, but it's not
try Klavika

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!
thanks Delooch!
DAMN... it's $75, US
DCS would have it/hook you up, if he was still here. Bastard. :angry:
not sure if I would want to use any font that came from Oklahomo... you never know where they've been, if you know what I mean :laugh: :laugh:
on its way...

It would be Extra Bold with a mustard stain and a turkey leg in its pocket.
oh man, it's not an exact match, damn close tho...
see my screen cap, the one highlighted is Klavika, the other is the copy I need to match.
look at the lower case "a"
Ya, it looks like an expanded Meta. :whip:
so close...
i noticed that the klavika medium uses an entirely different lowercase "a" then the light/reg/bold versions..
this is silly...
I was give the brand standards for this company, and guess what I found...

because their designer hacked 2-3 fonts together to make a logo typeface?
that's my guess, and they do this so they can keep crap like this in-house, DA's
that's prolly why it doesn't match a single font, mygawd, the audacity of some desingers, hacking a font just to make it their own... geez
the sad part is, the company that did this, is now wanting me to make text edits to their signs, after they approved the brand standards done from someone else. Why don't you send it to them to do the edits?
arrrrrg

my experience has been that the "brand standards" are really only followed by the creator/designer, and that most most of the people requesting the work/changes have NO IDEA what/why brand standards are implicated. even better is when they enact strict logo usage rules, then not have ANYTHING readily available for use in proper format.
then again, im trapped in a government shop. things made a little more sense in the commercial world.

Thank you.
We have customers that insist on using their ad agency, then two years later want us to make make radical changes. :banghead:

thanks for the laugh, but sadly no, things make less sense in the commercial world.
We were doing some GPO jobs a while back, and I remember getting a disk with the files. And included with the disk, was a sheet of paper that was a screen capture of the fonts used in the job. No fonts mind you, just a list of what they used, maybe.
In the commercial world, I get a disk from an "agency", the disk includes every font they have on their computer, and of course, it's missing the one they used.
:death:

You are in deep doodoo now as you have already attempted to mess with it. The police will be there shortly.
I've got some ongoing problem here of a job that did not supply a particular Helvetica LT. I have it so I used it, and the one I used linked right up without having to substitute anything and the job looks fine. I mentioned that they did not supply it so of course I get a download link to a zip of what supposedly is all the fonts in use on the job. It's of course the same shit they sent originally. There's no problem except that there's apparently some "legal thing" about me not using our fonts on this particular job (Big Pharma at work... don't get me started)
So they're all hung up on this but still refuse to answer my question as to what to do with the line on this letter that reads <variable date>
I love dealing with brand standards and corporate style guides. They please me immensely.

Comic Sans :thumbsup:
Try Serif Gothic, ITC Machine, maybe Revue?
Then there's Juniper, Hobo, Ironwood / Mesquite for certain themes?
pffft - brush scrip evy tyme
Use Helvetica. This is the superior designer's font. It has all the subtlety of Arial, without any of the inherent vulgarity.

Papyrus aka the avatar font. Worked for James Cameron.
I try to find fonts that invoke a certain "feeling" rather than a generic category. Serpentine for action, Eurostyle for futuristic, Frutiger for a movie about homosexual black men.

Speaking of James Hetfield, that bastard had some serious acne.
yeah but man could he drink! :drunk3:
And he WAS a talented musician.
Sucks he died in a plane crash during the black album and was replaced by a doppelganger.

I liked the bass player in Planet of the Apes. :thumbsup:
Justice Album was the last really good album they put out......then they pissed away their talent for Fame and Fortune.
Agreed. There might be one or two songs on black that I don't despise but Justice was the last good whole album.
I'm a bass playing ape. :monkeyfight:
In '96 or so, they opened in Fresno for the Load tour. Concert was awesome! An hour or so into the show, back to back, One and Enter Sandman, in total darkness with laser fire and smoke made it feel like you were in the trenches in Vietnam with tracer fire shooting all around you. Afterwards was total darkness and silence. A few minutes passed, and then a single, bare light bulb descended from the ceiling. James says, "Now we're gonna play the shit we want to play," and the last hour + of the show as 100% acoustic and was all from Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets under the solo light.
I saw them at Lollapalooza '95... I remember some of it. :laugh:
Quote from: Farabomb on August 30, 2012, 10:03:30 AMAgreed. There might be one or two songs on black that I don't despise but Justice was the last good whole album.
I still think Justice was way too overly produced. To me, Puppets was their last REALLY good album. Justice and Black had some really good songs on them, but EVERY song was good on their previous albums.
I agree with this. Lightening and Puppets are the best, with Puppets being one of my top 5 all time favs... can listen to it all the way through and not even twitch to skip a song. Justice and Black were good for what they were and both have some killer material. Black is a very high level of recording. Justice clips out badly when cranked, even on a good system.
They at one time were my absolute favorite band. Lars, however is a shitty drummer.
Bastards, now I have to go load up some Metallica. Been playing Megadeth all week.
Lars is pompous ass.
Personally I like everything up to Black. I like Load and Reload, but it's a different band and a different sound; it's like Metallica Hard Rock/Heavy Metal vs. Metallica Grunge.
Garage, Inc. and St. Anger just plain suck out loud.
Never heard of these fonts you all are talking about. :sarcasm:
