the bitch about small caps, is most fonts with them have serifs, which ain't Avante Garde.
Still looking, but Avante Garde is one that really doesn't seem to have a "twin". I mean they're close, but...

So Slappy, how close does it need to match?

David · June 30, 2010, 12:45:08 PM

this one has some sans serif fonts on the page that look ok, but they ain't Avante Garde (maybe garde -ish)

Honestly, I doubt they're going to be real hung up on it, I just need to offer them something. I'm not dedicating my life to it but I'll throw them a few options. Thanks guys.

Oh yeah, from your link I see Copperplate. Forgot about that one. For some reason I like that font.

David · June 30, 2010, 01:01:24 PM

It's been one of my favs as well, not really sure why, but I like it and use it when I get the chance.
Right after I use comic sans, of course.

gnubler · June 30, 2010, 01:02:24 PM

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed to see that Comic Sans wasn't listed in the small caps list. Or is that only offered in the Comic Sans Pro pack?

Yes, ComicSans Pro MM.

David · June 30, 2010, 01:03:41 PM

I believe it is the Comic Sans Extended Pro version

talk about your small caps...

gnubler · June 30, 2010, 01:11:26 PM

LOL. Lots of funnies going on today. Puts me in the mood for a 'rita.

David · June 30, 2010, 01:20:20 PM

well, it is about that time...
