Hey all. I have been commissioned to do a project that is totally not up my alley--design a logo and identity for an engineering firm called Meta Engineering. I am trying to make some type choices and have a few ideas...if I purchase a new typeface I don't want to spend a lot so does anyone have suggestions for a cheap Engineer-ish typeface?
Meta Engineering - are you serious? Sorry to state the obvious, but you should use... Myriad.
Haha...are you serious? I mean, I love the myriad/meta connection but...boring?
DIN would be obvious.
More subtle would be Klavika, or Cachet.

One more...
Not cheap, but nice: Gravur Condensed
> Haha...are you serious?
No :-)
Neo Tech/Sans
Isocteur. it's an old AutoCAD font.
Nothing says "engieering" like AuroCAD.
Can be effective in small doses

Gravur/AutoCAD?
Isonorm
Interesting that everyone except F. Frank went sans serif on this one. I'd lean towards something like Adrian Frutiger's http://Serifa.
Thanks for all of the suggestions. I love this site and all you typophiles.
I'm just pulling inspiration from Design Observer: http://do3.rubystudio.com/archives/entry.html?id=25212
