I actually found this font, wrote the name down, and promptly misplaced it. Help! Someone! Please!

Thanks Jan. Sorry ’bout the title. Will do next time. You are most definitely correct about this one.

The font I’d found previously is actually a different one that looks very much like this. It has a variety of weights and italics. I know there are quite a few fonts out there that are similar to Klavika. Do you know of any other popular ones that are similar?

Font Bureau’s Stainless is one I often mix with it in my mind. I guess they are both what I would call squarish.

Sudtipos Kautiva, which even has a similar name (sort of), and Downtempo.

These are all great but not the one I saw. The “squarish” modern I saw was slightly more roundish...I can picture the foundry website...it had a dark background. I absolutely hate finding a font you’ve been looking for only to lose it again.

How long ago did you visit the site? If you’re on a Mac running Safari you can goto to the ’History’ menu and ’Show All History’ near the very bottom. By default it is set to save all of the sites you’ve visited during the last 30 days. A quick scan can sometimes jog a memory.

Here is a list of foundries that I have in my bookmarks with a ’dark background’. By no means a complete list but maybe one matches the picture in your head.
