looking for a font "similar" to emigre's base 9..
since my last thread explaining my predicament was deleted.
it is used on a logo for a client.. which they paid good money for..
the company who did it didnt give them the source.. and now they wont pay me to buy the font.. I have no interest in that damn font and would love to use a substitute..

They paid good money but they didnt get the logo in vector? If they lost it or something, and dont wanna pay 39$ for the font to redo it. I say ditch them.
Whats the project?
- oculasm0
unfortunately.. Im getting paid and it would be too brash to ditch them over a logo.

I'm not at liberty to disclose how much they paid for the logo.. but its the biggest cock up Ive heard of.. the story was in the thread that mysteriously dissapeared..

they got a large version of the logo from the design firm.. but its not a vector and since the have little design sense.. they dont give a damn about the type or the colour to justify paying more.. see I cant really complain because Ive been paid in advance. anyhow any more font suggestions?

If they are paying you so well, why don't you buy the font?
I'd explain this to them. If they can't come up with the font for you - that sounds unreasonable.
Unless you have "will supply magic tricks" in your contract...
The only way your going to get something to look like Base 9 is to get Base 9.

yes. thanks for the that advice. I was only looking for a similar font.
