Thanks people :-)

Gee, you're right! But this is cool enough man - I couldn't find any fonts that came as close as this one...

Thanx!

Yves, why not have a disclaimer on the title of this forum that states if its a logo, its probably custom. We see this often.

Glad to hear you reinforce that idea. That's why I'm here. Very often in this field, close is plenty good enough. Especially if you have to hold the two side by side to notice the differences -- most folks don't have eyes that are tuned for the details you guys spot!

I think that's a typeface. Here's why:
Compare the S. On the left it looks like a capital form, on the right it looks lowercase. At the very least there is no reason that they should be different in a custom logo of this genre. The K is definitely capital. I don't think we're looking at a custom unicase logo, but two weights of a font scaled to acheive the purpose.

They wouldn't be the first company who could afford better but chose not to.

For all that guessing you'd think I'd hazard a guess on the font?
I have no idea :-)

Yves, I don't mean stop helping but just inform people that most logos are custom. Too many people want an exact match. It just a thought

I just came across this site, which has "Skyward" fonts made to mimic.
The original font is attributed to X&Y Design, the only links for which I
could find related to furniture design.

Note that Skyward Regular has a lc e and n which, if blown up to match
the size of the other (uc) letters, has about the right weight. PC only (again).
