I must call upon the knowledge of this thread again to help me find the name of a font or one similar: Any ideas what it could be? I know I've seen it on other packaging before but I've yet to find it in Photoshop.

I think it's Carlos Bold

Ah thanks, seems to be a rather pricey font (I guess. I don't know how much fonts usually run for but it's $59 at cheapest) but I found a suitable workaround to that problem. I could have sworn it was one of the ones that comes with Photoshop though.

That font is so mid-90s comic books it hurts.

I would totally play a Pokemon mod where you catch fonts.

Sorry about breaking the funny thread going on. Could someone please recommend good serif and sans-serif combos (i.e., one of each) for print?

I've always liked Univers and Caslon and Avenir and Clarendon.

Sure thing! Before we stop this font rec train, can anyone suggest a modern tech-type that isn't gimmicky or silly-futuristic? Something along the lines of Neo Sans but maybe less rounded/soft would be cool.

Anybody have any alternatives to the Ralph Steadman (Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) style font? I'm working with a new band called Filthy Beast, and they like that style, but I don't want to bite that style too hard. I feel it'll detract from their unique sound. Their whole appeal is this weird desert-rock pulp style grit. Any ideas?

Here's a list of similar fonts from Identifont: http://www.identifont.com/similar?IDN I'm kind of partial to Bleeding Cowboys. It's not exactly in the same vein but it does have a grungy Western feel. It may be a little too... cliched, maybe? for what you're trying to do though.

Fayez Butts posted:Friends don't let friends use Bleeding Cowboys. EVErrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I think Bleeding Cowboys is getting to be right up there with Comic Sans. On that note, I think Comic Sans should be banned from all computers in any professional setting. One of the designers at my company uses goddamn Comic Sans in her emails that she sends out to vendors outside the company. I think this reflects really poorly on our design team. I use Eurostile for everything. My resume and portfolio are both written in it and I love it.

The only valid use of it is pamphlets for fly-by-night clubs that change name/ownership every 4-6 months. Bleeding Cowboys: "I want my text to look distressed/grunge but don't want to do anything more than typing the words"

How much type are you setting in that font? You might be smart just to pick up a bunch of paper and a calligraphy pen + ink, and go to town yourself.

I'm trying to talk the band into straying away from the Steadman style, I don't think it's a good marketing move at all especially not long term.

Top tip: eye dropper a little ink onto the page then blow on it with a straw.

Are you serious about "web safe?" That poo poo hasn't been relevant in over a decade.

Segoe UI is actually a rip-off of Frutiger, not Helvetica (according to Spiekermann) because once again MS were too cheap to license a font and got someone to copy it. On the plus side, Frutiger/Segoe is a definite step in the right direction as regards overall legibility. As long as the font is properly hinted -- and the hinting on Segoe isn't too bad -- it's actually significantly more legible than Helvetica. That's part of why I'm so disappointed to see Apple start using Helvetica Neue for iTunes... it's a display typeface, not a body typeface, and anyway Helvetica isn't what it should be (you'll want Christian Schwartz's Neue Haas Grotesk for that...)!

I get so pissed when I look at an email I sent to a co-worker on their PC, and my loving teal papyrus 16pt email shows up as some loving Verdana bullshit. ESPECIALLY when I sign with bright blue comic sans and an animated gif of the CUTEST emoticon! Or like on MSN when my authentic typewriter font doesn't show up on their PC and only mine... I downloaded these for a reason!

Does anyone know of any free fonts that have a similar style to ITC Century Bold. I'm working on a project with a 0 dollar budget and good, free, serifs are really hard to find.
