Hi all,
Thanks for checking out my post...
Just wondering if anyone knows of a free font that would be a good substitute for 'Corporate A Light' by any chance - even if it means I would have to do a bit of stretching or something.
Many thanks and I hope to hear from you.
All the best,
Mark
Free font? Perhaps Google will help you out.
no. not just a free font but a free font that looks like corporate a light.
maybe google will be a bit more helpful - in fact i'm sure of that! - more helpful than you certainly.
why did you answer my post if you had nothing sensible to say or any ideas to help me out? nobody checks out topics that have a reply.
Well. Wait a moment. You are aware that you are the one asking for a free 'substitute' for a commercial typeface, on a board frequented by type designers?
( Needless to say that not many on here will be helpful in finding such a free version. )

I have checked into that font, and discovered the reason it has the odd characteristic of working as a text font, but continuing to look good at larger sizes is a lot of detail went into it. Not sure what is meant by that, but maybe someone can elaborate.
You probably will have to settle for a seperate text and display font if you go the free route. For free stuff, Manfred Klein at the TypOasis is probably your best bet. Unfortunately there aren't samples, and there are thousands. I don't have time to go through it all, but feel free to check my Manfred site for samples of some of my favorites.
... you could also try Georgia.
