(x) Similar to Gridnik - Alpha Headline {Ignacio}

anonymous

Wondering if anyone can ID this face. It looks similar to Gridnik, or Din, but I don't think either of those are it. Thanks for your help! The Font In Question

Nah, nevermind... those I's aren't right..

Lineto's Alpha Headline ?

Yes it reeeeeally looks like Alpha Headline but the A is a bit off. But it might just be the resolution of the attached image that messes it up. Everything else looks right.

Ignacio, you are correct. This sample's taken off of my site, and it is indeed Alpha Headline. Cheers, Sam

:-)

Isn't it traditional to point out that Carplates looks very similar to Alpha Headline, or do we assume everyone knows that by now?

Thanks!

(And for what it's worth, I think I actually did try out DIN and Gridnik for that page. So many fonts, so little time!)

No, ITC Conduit is more condensed.

According to the Lineto website Alpha Headline is a custom typeface (not available for retail sale).

But it once was available, and it really looks like it, so ... possible.

Now, if you really must point out the obvious ...

Just joking. Good point, Robin! :-)

Thanks everyone. I guess Alpha Headline was "bought out". Too bad. Bad for us, good for Lineto I'm sure... Thanks Sam for the confirmation - and by the way, you do fantastic work!

Is that ITC Conduit?
