I'm searching for a list of names of copies of the Bauhaus and Blippo family
fonts, if any exists.

So far I have:
Bauhaus =
Baha, Bahamas, Baron (BaronBlackDB Normal), Bimini, Bordeaux, Mumbo (Mumbo SSK
Bold)

Blippo =
Bauhaus 93, Blipper, Brandish (Brandish Regular), Graphics

Another that is similar except for a few letters (Y,y) is Expressa Demibold.


A couple of other families I'm interested in are Ronda/Rondalo, does anyone
know if any clones of these exist?


TIA

Actually, Blippo is not a Bauhaus clone but a similar looking
font like Expressa or Ronda. Mike Yanega once made a
compilation of Bauhaus-like fonts on his page:

I knew that, that's why it's a separate entry!

I've seen Mike's excellent site too. It lists only derivative fonts, not
identical (or near-identical) fonts with different names. It's also based on
real type, not modern digital-only creations, though many of the listed fonts
have been digitized.

I'm really keen to find digital fonts like Brandish and Graphics that are
clones of Blippo Bold, especially if any exist using different glyph sets.
Blippo Bold has several alternate glyphs but seems not to have been digitized
yet under its own name. The Bold weight has mostly closed bowls where all
other weights are open.

Also:
Geometric 752 (Bitstream)
Dyname (SSI)

Another:
Geometric 755 (Bitstream)
Celesti Display (SSI) - some minor changes

Serius (SSI) was a badly weighted clone of Ronda
