Mariano, you have been patient. I have looked through samples from T-26 (the first place I look for Techno fonts), but this could be newer than my sample sheets. Have you checked the Techno fonts at DaFont for the freeware fonts? (one of the best freeware sites, and one of the very few that sorts fonts by style categories).

I also checked the two Indie Font books, but no luck there.

Maybe this post will re-awaken this thread. I think it looks familiar, but that is (for me) the problem with Techno fonts -- too many of them look like one another.

I guess that's what Tech fans would say about Text fonts :-)

It looks to me like it may have been done by hand. That R is dreadful.

Mike and Patricia, thank you very much for your comments. I aprecciated very much.
Actually I said in my first post that it could be a freeware font but also, as Patricia say it could have been drawed by hand, since I have to re-draw the logotype to have a digital version.
Anyway, thank you very much I always get answers in this forum.

Bye the way, Mike I was watching your site bowfinprintworks.com and I find very usefull your Font Identification Guides and references , so thanks again

(sorry for my English)

I think this is a modified Battlefield by Iconian fonts. It seems to have been slanted witha custom, but dreadful, R.

Mariano - if you have to redraw the logo anyway I'd rework that R.

Your English is fine!

see ya

Why single out the R?

Hi tipophiles, thanks for you comments. I must confess that I�m a beginner in tipography issues, and I�m learning on.
I have a question for you, what particular feature makes that Rodacor "R" so dreadfull?
What about the other letters, are they acceptable?
Thank you very much,

I think it is a matter of personal taste Mariano. Personally, since the R seems to be consistent with the design 'theme' of this font, I think it fits, and is as good (or bad) as the rest of the font that we can see.

If you like this style, do not let us convince you not to like it. How you use it can be more open to criticism than how the letters look, as long as they seem true to the design for the typeface. (In my opinion)
