Ivan - that is genius. Thank you for this tip! Koeiekat - I still think that is amazing that you can keep that many unique characters in your head. Taking you advice, I went through my entire collection and tried to find unique letters, then attempted to refer back to them. Sadly, this did not work. I am going to keep working on this, now that you've given me some great tips! Just one question. When you say you run a search "locally", what do you mean? Do you have a program that searches based on samples? I once found a shareware application along these lines (somewhere on download.com); however, I wasn't able to get it to work. Thank you all, again, for such great insight! - re: Bold/Logotype Sans - Similar to Myriad

That is amazing! How in the world are you able to do this, with such precision no less?! Do you have an application that aids in the process? Taz looks great, and you're right, Interstate looks a bit off, partially because of the steeper slopes. Thanks again, and please let me know if there is a technique I should be used to help myself before bothering the forum :-).. - re: Bold/Logotype Sans - Similar to Myriad

I really like this font, it's got all of the nice features of Myriad, but a little softer (notice the slopes). And it's a nice weight, slightly lighter than a Myriad Black. I tried Identifont, but it came up with ITC Legacy, which is definitely not it :-). Thank you in advance! - Bold/Logotype Sans - Similar to Myriad

You're right on the money, thank you! I did some research and discovered this font is also used by JetBlue and has quite a history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FF_DIN Thanks again! - re: Clean Sans - Looks Simple

I stumbled upon this *extremely* clean and neat Sans font that I'd love to use for headlines and easy-to-read presentation of numbers. I originally found this here: http://www.zionsdirectauctions.com/ack/ I've uploaded a sample if you prefer to look at the close-up. Thank you in advance! WPB - Clean Sans - Looks Simple

Thank you Koeiekat. The fact that it strikes you the same way, yet you can't find anything either, makes me feel better! Looks like I've found one more font I "have to have" - when will it end, oh when... :-). - re: insigne Aviano Sans

Well, if you like MyFonts.com's 'Best Sellers' it comes up in the top 10, or at least it did the day I posted, which is what caused me to learn about it. I'm not sure -- is WTF the definitive guide to whether there is anything similar, or is it a tool to help? If it's the definitive guide, I apologize for posting here. Just that by looking at the font, it looks tremendously familiar. And for a font-matcher not to come up with suggestions on a sans font, that does not make sense to me. My gut tells me I've seen this before and before I go out and drop money on it, I wanted to make sure I was buying the original. - re: insigne Aviano Sans

I happened to notice this is one of the most popular fonts running on MyFonts, and I think it's absolutely beautiful. Clean and perfect for many modern/sans headlines. The thing is, I swear it already exists as an OpenType font -- is this a knock-off of a similar design?

Thank you so much! - re: Common Display Font - TT version is "Bocci" - See attached

I have this cheap True Type knock-off of a common display font that many of you probably know very well. I use this so frequently, I'd like to know what the original / professional version of the font might be labeled. Because it's so common, I thought there would be some sort of original available in OpenType, but I'm not aware of it. Thank you in advance! - Common Display Font - TT version is "Bocci" - See attached
