Confusing Neutraface

Evan Brogan

So I really want to use neutraface for a corporate identity—from logo through to brochure copy.

However, the uppercase E really bothers me. It’s too modern. I think the face would be perfect if it weren’t for that one character, which is used in typesetting the company’s name.

On the House Industries website they show the large N from neutraface—but the text below it—that E is different, and I can’t seem to find an alternate version in the Try Font feature..

Is that neutraface or not? A different cut of Futura than what I have? (the R in that looks much better than mine).

What is that?

I think that’s Neutraface No. 2:

Ah. I did not see there were other versions.
THANK YOU!

I really love that typeface
