Parka Alternatives

Jürgen Genser0 votes

Hello,

We are developing a website for a company that uses Parka as its primary font: http://www.fontbureau.com/fonts/parka/

Since it is not offered as a webfont yet we are searching for an alternative that would be suited for web use. Currently I've found a range of FontFonts that share a similar character:

http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/fontfont/ff-meta/
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/fontfont/kievit/
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/fontfont/ff-fago/
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/fontfont/sero-pro/
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/fontfont/ff-transit/

does anyone have any other alternatives he/she can recommend?

Thanks in advance,
Jürgen

I just tweeted to Font Bureau about this thread, they said to email info@webtype and they can usually help in these kind of cases.

Why wouldn't FB post in this thread themselves?

Forgive us; the font monkeys just alerted us to this thread as we had been emailing with this customer directly.

Dear Sye:

My apologies. I was referring to our Twitter font monkey who referred me to your tweet.

No monkeys were harmed in the typing of this message.

Best,
Paley
