So not too long ago (past few weeks) I answered yet another font/typeface query from a friend. He said he wanted something that will do justice to his brand in one letter or less. I made a rough monochromatic rendering of the glyph by hand, on a 20x30 canvas, using spraypaint and stenciling, took it to their studio, and it was enough to convince them. Score!
Can you name the typeface I suggested to them? It's at the bottom of the page, far left. http://www.whoisntjohngalt.com
If you are looking for a typeface with a similar looking G try Democratica.
Ambicase Modern?

Sorry to drift off-topic, but where does this habit of starting a new thread with "So" come from? For a while I used to think some previous sentences had been accidentally deleted. Is it for dramatic effect, as if we're all sitting round a dining table and there's been an awkward lull in the conversation? "So, anyone for more rice pudding?"
Perhaps we can guess the missing first paragraph.
Well, the EULA governs the usage of the font file (and you're right, riccard0, some foundries make particular provisions for such use and some don't), but someone who, say, traces a letter from an online source may never see the EULA. And in such a case the "ethical issues" are indeed of interest!
(Let me underscore that this tracing scenario is a hypothetical for argument's sake, not an accusatory guess at what happened in the case that occasioned the original post...)
