Futura Inline

Hi
I need assistance for purchasing a good version of Futura Inline - can't seem to find one.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you.

As far as I know, a Futura Inline doesn't exist. Here are some alternatives.

Thanks for looking. There used to be a true Futura Inline

See link below:

But when I click through there s no way to order it.

Any ideas?

Nice reference. Check out Futura Serie. It has SC and OSF.

Christopher - Adriane’s looking for an inline version. Serie's not going to cut it.

Adriane - I have a feeling CastleType’s Futura went off the market due to trademark restrictions. I'll find out from Jason Castle.

Another alternative: Topaz

Futura Inline lives again as Carisma Inline.

Thanks, Adriane, for the links leading to Castle Type!

Also, does anyone else find it odd that Carisma Inline is all-caps, but the rest of the Carisma family is upper and lower case?

I don’t find the inline being caps odd—it’s the sort of type that I think designers would want to use primarily in all-caps settings.

Good point, Mr. Puckett. I just noticed that Topaz is all-caps, too. Thanks.

There is also Neutraface No. 2 Display Inline. All caps only.

Futura Inline - funny name, mh?
I just know it as Futura licht.
