Need help finding a font

Post by Mike Jackson »

Hello all,
I am looking for a commercial font with characteristics similar to this example.

It is bold, blocky, and has an industrial feel. I know I have seen it, but can't remember the name or who makes it.

Thanks!

Mike, it appears to be a custom variation of ODIN

Here's a link http://new.myfonts.com/search/odin/fonts/

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for the info. That's close to what I had in mind. I've also seen one with some sort of oval accents or dots over some letters. Retro Bold has some of the looks I want, along with one at Letterhead fonts called Logomotion. I think I found one on an old URW fonts disk that will do the job.

Best regards,
M. Jackson
