What font is this?
« on: Sun, 09 February 2014, 01:39:41 »
Saw this geekhack keyboard.  I like the font.  Does anyone know what font this is?

I thought maybe it might be some type of Helvetica, but I'm not sure.  Any other good fonts like this?

Edit: It's round 3 Dolch replica using what seems like SP's "ISOTHERM LINE" font.

Thanks.  You're right, the color scheme looks a lot like the dolch replicas.  As for SP ISOTHERM, I found this:

I don't think the font is the same.  The numbers definitely don't match and the F, C, and O keys look pretty different.

Try typing out QWERTY 123 in the sample text box on MyFonts, you'll see the 'Q' and '3' don't match. Appears to be a different typeface.

If it's close enough for what you need might as well use it though :thumb:. I haven't had much success with font ID sites in the past, even with clean samples, as often they can be custom typefaces or the engine doesn't recognize an exact match.

Or the community side of MyFonts WTF once you've run through the automated search. I've ID'd some fonts in the past, including some lettering.
