Hi,

I think I need your help again. Does anybody know which font was used for this logo?
I'd also be happy with a font that's pretty similar, it doesn't have to be exactly the same.

Looks slightly like 'Industria' or 'Baucher Gothic', but its not..
( Actually it seems more than a bit off.. Sorry.. )

Odeon Condensed I think.

I can't find a showing, but here's an example.
According to Font Reserve it's from Hoefler but I can't find anything else to support that... Sorry!

Thanks, that's exactly the one.
Unfortunately I can't find it anywhere. Does maybe someone have an alternative that comes close? Baucher Gothic as suggested above isn't too bad but maybe there's better?
Thanks anyway for helping!

FB Herald Gothic is pretty close, but has even more squarish corners.

It's basically a condensed grotesk, of which there are quite a few possibilities. I like Pacific Standard. You've also got Roswell, which is a little more condensed.

That looks the same. Strange about Odeon, I couldn't find it by Google or on the Hoefler web site but my copy says it's a Hoefler font.

Thanks everybody. I finally found it!

Raleigh Gothic is the original name. It was an ATF face in the hand-set foundry type days. Odeon is based on it and I'm fairly sure it was one of Hoefler's early efforts. The Panache version is also the one used for the FontHaus logo.
