ample (8) - Abstract Fonts

Now, let's be fair Heron. as softlad already pointed at, Joanne did not really ask for the Algerian for free, did she? She asked for something similar. In fact she is looking for something similar to the Algerian Basic/Plain. This is a rare request. Very rare. No-one ever wants that one. Everyone always wants the fancy version. Maybe that is why it has never been copied. If $20 is too much and Joanne can live with the fancy version with the shadow line - or is willing to just remove these lines there is ample choice. There are a number that come close to very close to the Algerian. Closest first: the Algiers by Corel which came for free with the Corel Draw trial version and the Tangiers by Bay Animation, a bit on the rough side on the shadow line but for the rest an almost exact copy of the Algiers. Very small difference in aspect ratio with the Algerian. Also close - but not that close is one font that lives under three names the Albania, Algeria and Lynwood which has capitals and numbers only. The Algeria and the Lynwood are by A.Carr. The Albania has all info removed. Probably censored in the years of the cold war. Then we have one with very rudimentary shadow lines that lives under two names, the AlgerikaDB by Christine Maurerkircher und Rainer Grunert RWE alias Christine Mauerkirchner alias Rainer Grunert alias PrimaFonts alias ClassicFontCorporation, USA RWE and the Aventure Normal by Star Division GmbH. Noticed the tiny difference between the Algerian and the AlgerianD? - re: Looking for a free version of a font
