Sorry - wildy off-topic, but I've got a project on at work & I need to identify some fonts used in our literature. I've got several CDs worth of fonts at home, but I don't have the time to go through them all to pick out the correct ones & I'm having trouble identifying them by sight.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

At a guess (from microsoft word):

Sample 1 = Raavi

.. or Arial, can't see the difference. Same for sample 2.

First two are part of the "Futura" family and the third is pretty generic but could be part of the "Optima" family, or maybe "Zapf Humanist" or even "URW Classico T Medium"..?

Cheers, guys. I think I've got pretty much the entire Futura family. Definitely have Optima somewhere, but I'm not sure about Humanist or Classico.

I'll have a look and see what matches up, but this is a real help. Thanks!

Shuould add, there are about 8 billion Futura fonts - "SH" is the one you want. (Or Century Gothic).

There is some website that will take a scanned pic of anything (Mars bar wrapper, etc.) and give you back a font you can use in the same stylie. All I have to do is track down the link on my PC at home...

Mr mbanners is quite correct.

1 & 2 are futura light

3 is optima bold (with just plain optims below)
