Arial Rounded is one possibility for sure...

Helvetica Rounded FTW!

GE Inspira

A rounded terminal design, “GE Inspira is [a custom] proprietary [typeface] and will not be available to those outside the company.” Mike Abbink at Wolff Olins did the finishing work on the typeface in 2004. But it is in the zip download available here: http://snurl.com/Inspira.

Steve are you saying the font is part of that download? If yes, then we ask that you not post links like that here on Typophile.

Well, yes, it is. And I got that info right here on Typophile. See http://typophile.com/node/17999

What neither of us knows (or do you?) is whether this was legitimately available at the time it was included in this package.

If this is not legitimate, how did they get a copy of the font? And why hasn’t GE taken action?

It’s my understanding that GE made this font available on their own website for free download and later pulled it. See http://www.underconsideration.com/speakup/archives/002021.html#002021

If someone downloaded it when it was legitimately available, does that mean it’s now illegitimate for those who have it?

> If someone downloaded it when it was legitimately available, does that mean it’s now illegitimate for those who have it?

Probably not. But the license probably does not allow further sharing of the font. One would have to see the license to be sure.

I downloaded at the time, direct from GE’s site. I don’t know if it was posted delibrately or if someone made a mistake. However it was pulled, and I think reposting it without permissions is bad form, and probably illegal.

the document included says:

GE Inspira font is used by GENERAL ELECTRIC as their branding trademark. Usage of the font for any other purposes beside personal is strictly prohibited.

Getting back to the original topic, what about AG Book Rounded BQ?

And I have to confess that I’m a little confused by your question, Murat. When you say “monospaced numerals” I assume you mean that they will line up if you set them in a table, in columns, etc. If that is what you mean, most typefaces already come that way.

...most typefaces already come that way.

Not VAG.

Thanks, jpad — it’s been a while since I actually used VAG Rounded for anything, but I had never noticed that about its numerals before.
