Verdana?

unknown

Although it looks a lot like Verdana, I don�t believe that the centre of Verdana�s �M� (where the diagonals meet) reaches the baseline.
I also tried FreeSet Demi but the �c� is too open and the centre of the �M� is too thick;
Scylla Medium but it seems too narrow, too short in its x height, and wrong dot over the �i�;
Frutiger 65 but the �M� centre is too square, and the �c� is too open (and overall it seems a bit narrower than the sample).
It�s very close to many faces, but I can not yet find an exact match.

Fantastic, thanks!

Interestingly, I'm sure I can see what seems an excessive amount of round overshoot in Ad Sancs. This is particularly noticeable on larger sizes (seen here on the u, d and c, but not the o, although that is the same size). And that's not present on the AudioMulch logo.

To me, it's unquestionably the same typeface though, and I can't believe the AudioMulch author would have tweaked his logo, so what would account for it? Two separately digitised versions?

And oh yes, the c is quite different on the small text, I hadn't really looked as I was expecting it to be the same !

I took your advice and registered, btw :-)

Cheers, Robin

Yves... too generous in sharing the id with me. He11, I even confused Frutiger with FreeSet. You deserve extra kindness and generosity, today.

cheers,
Dana
