Req: Myriad MM 565 SB600

Interstate regular & Bold

Does anyone have these fonts to share? If they are copyrighted, does anyone
know where I can get them?

Sorry - I am new to this game....

thanks

We were all new to this once.


Sir Thomas More, an advisor to Henry VIII at the time, is reported
with questionable reliability to have complained to another of Henry's
advisors, Thomas Cromwell if I recall correctly, that this advisor had
made a serious error: He had told the King what he could do instead of
what he should do.

What you should do-
Myriad is an Adobe font and is indeed copyrighted. You will need the
master font to use Myriad MM 565 SB600. It is an "instance" of the
master.
http://www.adobe.com

Interstate is also a commercial, copyright font program. It is
available from the Font Bureau. It is a large family.
http://www.fontbureau.com/specimens/interstate.html
http://www.fontbureau.com/specimens/interstatepi.html

What you can do-
If you're on "the game", they can be acquired by methods that range
from 'grey' to black', metaphorically speaking.

There, I've been as arrogant as Sir Thomas.

You should be able to find Interstate as freeware someplace, although
I don't know where.

Minion, however, is an Adobe original. The only legal way to acquire
it is from them. They even obtained a patent on it to stop people from
cloning the design.

I just found Ray Larabie's (freeware) 'Blue Highway' font. It's similar
enough to Interstate for my purposes. Just thought I'd let you guys know.
He's got some other good ones on there too:

thanks for the replies!
