Pepsi-like font
cromax
I guess these are well-known typefaces, so there's no need
to present some picture of it. The point is I am unable to
find these font (or similiar) on the net. In fact I've found
so called "!PEPSI" font, but these are small-caps only (well,
in fact those small-caps are exactly the same as big ones).
I've really checked several font sites, traversed through
hundreds of fonts (and I even downloaded some of them ;-)
but still I am not able to find anything similar. 8(
So if anyone knows where I can find it (and I mean
with small characters, preferably with latin-2 subset)
then PLEASE help!

Never a good assumption.

"AF Pepsi" is found by almost every search for Pepsi Font. It has both
upper and lower case.
It's identical to the free "Denmark"; Google for Denmark font and you've
got it.
Interesting that Denmark is free and AF Pepsi isn't, since I believe
that Denmark came first.

I was just there. It really lives up to its name! Just type in the name of
the font you're looking for, and it'll show you the logotype (i.e. AF Pepsi)
then show you the actual name of the font, the designer or foundry, whether
or not it's available to the public.
Give it a try. You just may find what you're looking for.
Good hunting!

I don't think so. All I get is a generic website from whoever bought
the rights to that domain quite a few years ago! It's more likely that
you were at:
http://www.smackbomb.com/famousfonts/
where the old Famous Fonts website now appears.
And if you go to the right URL, your comments are right on!

On the other hand, I at the smackbomb site, I find no reference to AF
Pepsi, but only to Denmark, which is marked as not available for download.

Hm, on the 2-nd thought, I think you're right. 8)

Ahh, first hit in the Google pointed me to:
http://www.grsites.com/modperl/fontview.cgi?dir=d&fn=DENMARK
And this is it! Thank you very much! It's so obvious it's
called Denmark. ;-)

Oh, didn't know that. So that's why definately I am going to
use Denmark then. 8) Again, thx for help! 8)

Seeing it is also in the Bitstream portfolio, you might take a look in
your font bin, as many of these BT fonts were/are distributed with
drawing packages like CorelDRAW.
Just some thoughts :-)

Indeed, especially that HG family seems to be more precise designed
than Denmark. Thanks for help! 8)

It sure is. Don't know why I've forgotten about Handel Gothic. Just
went through a couple of font alias lists - another clone is WSI's
"Slicker".
I also just noticed that AF Pepsi is an italic version. Thanks.

By accident I steped on "Koshgarian" typeface and it seems to be
also similar to the original. See
http://www.vonna.com/fonts/koshgari.ttf if anyone is interested.

Here's Rakowski's text file for Koshgarian:
The Koshgarian-Light font is copyright 1991 by D. Rakowski, All Rights
Reserved. The font is modeled on Handel Gothic Light, the font used on
Pepsi Cola cans. It is also named after Julie Koshgarian, a former
co-worker now working as a lawyer.
The full character set is available in Koshgarian-Light, as well as
punctuation and numbers. A few other European characters are also
available, but there are no diacritical characters. The font is a square
sans serif font, like a more rounded Eurostile.
Koshgarian-Light is shareware. If you like and use the font, please make
a tax-deductible donation of $10 to Columbia University. Send your check
to Cynthia Lemiesz, Music Department, 703 Dodge Hall, Columbia
University, New York, NY 10027. Your donation helps to pay for the
performance of music written by Columbia University composers. Lawyers
and law offices may use the font free of charge. You may distribute this
font freely, providing all the files in this archive, this one included,
are included.
Koshgarian-Light is presented to the font-hungry community as a public
service of Insect Bytes, a fictional corporate identity created to give
life to a room with otherwise humdrum wallpaper.

Sorry.
Why is it obvious?

Because people drink Pepsi with Danish pastries?
No, it's just Cromax being justifiably sarcastic!
As when my wife asks me "how do I EXIT this microsoft program?"
And I tell her "Press ENTER"
And she says "Of course. That should have been obvious!"

Good sense of humour makes life much easier. 8) And to make
some fun of Microsoft---very similar story: "I don't know
how to make that window disappear [yes, you're right, how
to close it ;-)]." "It's pretty simple, just press Alt-F4."
"Oh, indeed, that's really simple, how it happend it didn't
cross my mind!" ;-)
