MyriadPro is very, very close to the official Splunk branding font. But acharlieh's point is important: if you are creating something that will look like Splunk branding and will be distributed beyond the personal hobby level, you should proceed with caution, because Splunk branding belongs to Splunk.

Looking at a Splunk 6.0.6 installation that I have handy, inspecting the "logo" on the front page you can see that it is in fact text, with a font family of "Splunk Icons" which happens to be served up at /en-US/static/fonts/splunkicons-regular-webfont.woff


Looking at this font, it looks like a base font was taken, and glyphs are overridden to give what is needed, and it doesn't really seem to be a unified font at all. (at least the splunk letters are different than the base font as you can see here):


Now the other font that is embedded in the page and seems to be the font used most other places is called Roboto. Maybe using this font might give you some of the style that you're looking for? Or you could try running the logo through something like What the Font! and see if you could get another approximation.


Edit to add: Do be careful in designing your newsletter. While we all love Splunk, and want to show how cool it is, your newsletter should be abundantly clear at a glance that you're a Splunk Enthusiast and not an employee of nor representing Splunk, Inc. themselves. IANAL but the more the line is blurred here the more trouble and headaches you might risk.


I was wondering what's the name of the font used for the Rust logo ? I must admit I don't like the logo very much so I'm having fun imagining new concepts (I know the logo won't change, it's just for fun), and I was wondering what I could come up with, with the actual font of the current logo.


The logo designer probably created the letter from scratch, because the transitions between the straight and curved parts of the letter R in the logo imply that the letter was not crafted by a professional type designer.


I was recently enjoying some tasty King's Hawaiian Bread. I noticed their font for their logo and would like find a font with a similar look. I ran their logo through What The Font and it returned Kuenstler 480 Black as a possible match. This is close it is lacking the "swooshes" that you see in the N and H. (I do not know the technical term.)


Aloha, that is a great question and I love our font too! I think what others have shared about Garamond is a close match but the KING'S HAWAIIAN logo is actually a custom font so there isn't really an exact match, just something close. You might be able to find another font that has a similar for just the N and the H. Mahalo for the support and have a nice week! If you have more questions, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].


I suspect that many of the details that do differ, such as the curved bar in the A, the missing serif on the K and the flourishes on the N and the H, are likely to be custom tweaks made by the logo designer.


Not to be a buzz kill, but but make sure you've got enough clearance at max Z height. Z calibration that hits those at the top may cause problems. Consider clipping at the the very top and backs, and displaying the names above the frame.


Yeah, I was watching for that. That's part of why 'Grace' has it centered (vertically) in the frame, which keeps it out of the way of the MMU2 hanger. They are flat enough that the Z height isn't affected- except when I had a clamp on it while the glue was drying and it was hitting the clamp.


I bet the font is Helvetica Neue (bold), it's much more accurate than FreeSans (bold). It's 100% the one used in the Prusa Research logo but the text "ORIGINAL" shows that the "G" letter doesn't match that font... I don't know if they manually changed it or if it's really another font.

Here is why. I compared a 800x magnification of the Prusa front panel with Neue Helvetica 95 Black and 75 Bold, adjusting the cap height the same for all three. The stroke width, terminals, bowl, counter and stems seem near identical. Not exactly the same, but very close.


Professional multi-weight fonts are way to expensive for a simple non-professional project. I used the sample generator at fonts.com, with the browser page magnified to 300%. Good enough for a simple project.


I'm interested in this as well...I've seen it asked many times in other threads, and nobody ever answered back. I also tried an automatic font recognition program, and it came up with a few close hits, but couldn't nail it down.


As to the AUR logo, I looked through the logs (we've got it under subversion) dp is responsible for checking in that logo, and it hasn't been touched since he did so. Perhaps asking him might yield some answers.


Indeed the font is called Adobe Clean and may even be included in several current Adobe products but that it is a little out-of-date. If you compare this font and some more recent Adobe logos, you will notice characters like 'm' (in FrameMaker) 'n' (in Animate), 'r' (in Lightroom, Premiere), 'u' (in Muse, Rush) and 'y' (in Story) are different from the font. One must also note that despite the font being included in some apps, Adobe restricts anyone else from using it for any purposes.


The simplicity and straightforward design make them easily readable in both digital and print media. Some popular sans-serif fonts are Arial, Helvetica and Futura.


Helvetica is a versatile and widely recognized sans serif font that has stood the test of time. It was originally created in 1957 and has since become one of the most popular logo fonts in the world.


Baltica is a modern and elegant serif font with a distinct personality. It features slightly rounded serifs, giving it a unique and contemporary twist while still exuding a sense of tradition and sophistication.


Frutiger is a versatile and modern sans serif font designed by Adrian Frutiger. It is highly legible and versatile, making it a practical choice for a wide range of design applications.


Lobster is a decorative font designed by Pablo Impallari, known for its playful and casual nature. This makes it an excellent choice for brands that want to convey a sense of creativity, fun and uniqueness.


The most popular and professional logo font style among the top 250 largest global public companies is Sans Serif. About 179 out of 250 companies use this style in their logo branding.


I'm trying to make a replica of the google homepage and I'm looking for a font style to make the logo. From what I can tell the official font is not publically available. I'm looking for a font that's freely available (somewhere like in Google Fonts or some other website) that I can link to my HTML and CSS files.


The Bodoni typeface surfaced during a time when typeface designers were experimenting with the contrast between thick and thin type characteristics. Giambattista Bodoni took that experiment to an extreme, creating this dramatic font. It has resonated through time in famous logos like Vogue and Calvin Klein and is a great font to consider for mainstream fashion brands.


Garamond is more of an umbrella term for typefaces than a single typeface. Many of the iterations we see in recent decades are interpretations of alphabets designed by Claude Garamond and Jean Jannon in the 16th century.


Coming from Nunito, a balanced sans-serif typeface superfamily, Jacques Le Bailly created Nunito Sans as an extension and fresh alternative to one of the most popular sans-serif fonts in the Google Font Library. Nunito Sans goes along with Montserrat, Theano Didot and Abhaya Libre. Its high x-height (the distance between the baseline of a line of type and the top of the main body of lowercase letters) and short descenders (lowercase letters, such as g and y, that extend or descend below the baseline) grant an approachable display.


Before Didot became known as a typeface, it was the name of a family composed of French printers, punch cutters, and publishers in the late 1700s. They created many versions of Didot, one of which is used in the Giorgio Armani logo. Similar to Bodoni, the high contrast in line thickness creates drama. This font is also commonly seen in the fashion world. Didot works best when used simply, with careful kerning and high-contrast colors.


Modesto has a very interesting history of use from 19th and 20th-century circuses to hand-painted typography. This digital iteration takes those analog forms and perfects them into a usable type family containing 23 fonts.


No font list would be complete without a stencil typeface, and Revista is an exceptional example. It brings the elegance of a classic serif face and merges it with the utility of a stencil font. The broken letter forms lend a down-to-earth, DIY vibe and make a fashion-oriented font accessible to everyone.


Uruguayan designer Fernando Diaz wanted to create a font that could be used simultaneously for long and short text without affecting legibility. Fenix was created. This serif typeface is inspired by calligraphy, and offers the chance for elegant readability in larger texts. It has rough strokes suggested from both sharp and edged curves. Spatial proportions are thoughtfully designed to save space in height and width. Fenix STD works well with Dosis, Open Sans, Raleway, and Exo.


While Baltica fits the criteria for a slab serif, it looks very similar to a simple sans-serif. The slabs are bracketed and of different widths from the letterforms, which is unusual for a slab-serif. These qualities are ultimately what set Baltica apart, giving it a signature look.


London-based designer James Barnard set out on a design journey: to create his own one day build (ODB, or phonetically oh-dee-bee), and complete the entire character set, numbers and the basic glyphs in 24 hours. The result? Odibee Sans (get it?). This ambitious and bold project speaks for itself, and works harmoniously alongside monospace and handwritten fonts.
